I use a 12" x 18" heat panel in a 4-foot Neodesha custom. Works fine. I wouldn't go any smaller.

Re: Radiant heat

If you are planning to use heat tape such as flexwatt, I use exaclty 2 feet of 11 inch wide flexwatt per 4X2 enclosure. Of course you must control this with a rheostat type dimmer device that can adjust the temperature properly.

I have never had a problem maintaining proper temps with this setup.
