If that happens I'll will look into higher quality alternatives. But I'm hoping it Dosnt get that hot.

It will(get that hot), I can't speak for the laminate, although I can completely see that happening. I would move that receiver to its own cavity before you start having issues.

I wonder if wiring a 120 mm computer fan on the side of the receiver would mitigate the heat issues?

you need to move the hot air out of the enclosure. I'd cut a hole/holes on the top and bottom and put the fan on one side to create airflow.

I melted a DVD case on one of my amps when we had it cranked...

If you go that route check out these kits:

I have no personal experience with them but several guys on here have and like them.

I plan on doing the USB version plugged directly into the receiver once I get the doors put on.
