best place for an amp - trunk or under seat?

But again, I agree with Lull, the trunk can often be the COOLEST place to mount your amps as under the seat is often very cramped. However, under the front seats are where I have three of my four amps mounted and have never had an over-heating problem. 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. |

best place for an amp - trunk or under seat?
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! ~Mister.Lull On Mar 1, 8:10*am, Jack Bauer wrote: MOSFET wrote: *But again, I agree with Lull, the trunk can often be the COOLEST place *to mount your amps as under the seat is often very cramped. *However, *under the front seats are where I have three of my four amps mounted *and have never had an over-heating problem.
