   Possibly connect it to the remote of the amp so when it switches on so does the fan.

   I used to run 2 PC fans (when I had a boot install)
   One sucking air in, the other blowing out.
   
   I got the ones with 2 wires,
   Red to the remote wire.
   Black to amp earth.
   
   
   
   You can see one by the blue RCA cables, the other is out of view by the cd changer
