My guess is the 7w is wayyy too much for any Palomar, can you tell us what type and how many transistors it has? Fan should be mounted 2-3" off of the heat sink and blowing on it.

The laws of phyics say that heat rises,so should the heatsink side of these amplifiers be mounted facing upward and the fan with ducting shroud placed ontop of that so the heat is transfered in an upwards direction away from the electronic components.
