Thumbs up adding 3rd amp need opinions?

doing a kick panel install , and need amp space! there's no room left on top of my box!. mounted it temporarily against my box in the cabin to see if it would fit behind the back seat? still haven't checked to see if the seat will fit without cutting out some padding. my main concern is the amp overheating!!! any ideas? thanks!

trunk not an option

i already have my trunk worked. i think i figured out since i already have a stinger fan on the top of the box cooling another amp, and the center armrest is a screened enclosure which air/sound freely passes through since i have my subs aimed in to the cabin. i can drill multiple vent holes in the wood the amp rests against, and some more to the left of the amp in the wood. that will provide enough air flow to keep it

I'd personally say not to put it there. Overheating will most likely be an issue just because of the confined area you're trying to squeeze it into with the seat right up against it.

I do have an idea however If you're not using the factory sub anymore, and it appears that your box is vented directly into the cabin via the ski pass, why not mount the amp of the rear deck and make a nice trim (cover) for it, so you can see it :wow:
