[Mister.Lull]

Hey Jack,

....Just to let you know, MOSFET and I both live in the Seattle area.

While it isn't what I actually said, in THIS region I've actually been
surprised to find that my trunk stays cooler than the vehicle interior
in direct sunlight; even in the summer. Now, driving through the
desert in the summer is a completely different ball of wax and in that
case, you're probably right to mount your amplifiers under the front
seats (providing there is enough clearence for cooling). My choices
are solely based on my experience - and my main concern isn't heat
these days, it's making sure nobody can see the goods in my
car... :-)

Have fun out there!

MisterLull did NOT say that the trunk could be the coolest place, he
just said he likes the trunk. *But I have to ask WHEN would the trunk be
the coolest place? *During the winter, when cooling is not likely to be
an issue! During the summer the trunk is going to be the hottest place
(except for the engine compartment) and will have no air circulation
unless you go to the trouble of adding fans. Driving through the desert
in the Summer - that's what I am thinking about. And that is when heat
may be an issue and under the seat may be the best choice.

Thanks for the input, though.
