My gear is spread out all over the FB (see my signature)-then covered with a shaped FB 'lid' in 2 sections over that, pretty stealth-except for the sub, and the amps get warm to the touch-but nothing disconcerning even in summer. What power cable size are you running? Again, even warm, good amps are designed to take the confinement. Does JL offer a cooling system?

im running 4 guage wires, for power and ground. the JL amp does not have a cooling system. but i read in the manual that they say its ok to mount underneath a seat if there is atleast 1inch of clearance above the top of the amp, so i dont think it should be an issue if i have it in the spare tire compartment.

^^^ Was just going to recommend mounting to the back of the seat, much better for the heat to dissipate
