| Um, gee.  Nope.  No experience at all.  Like Yuma huh?

| Seriously, "basic" alarm panels can really take some heat.  I've got a
| couple installed in customer atics where it hits 150-160 that have been
| working for years.  Amplifiers can't take the heat.  They need a cooler
| environment.  Some of your other components may flake as well.  I've seen
| routers and switches that were heat sensitive also.  Since you said
| structured wiring there is no telling what might be in that box
eventually.

| but atleast you won't be getting radiated heat baking on an outside wall
of
| it.
|
| A north facing wall is better than another wall, but...  whatever the temp
| is in the garage will be close to the temp in your box.
