Rich. looks awesome, but the amps will overheat like crazy if you dont have any circulation. even mounted on the back of my seats, in the summer, both my amps will over heat in about 50 minutes.
i would recumend a fan or something, if no circulation, you will never get to hear that awesome sound system | | | | | 12-17-2008, 11:35 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Peoria, IL Posts: 256 |

My amp used to be in direct sunlight and would be scalding hot to the touch but it never over heated. Could be your amp too. __________________  | | | | | 12-17-2008, 11:37 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Peoria, IL Posts: 256 |

It will vent up out of the floor via a grill. The amp doesn't really get all that warm, but its better to be safe especially when it gets to summer. | | | | | 12-18-2008, 05:46 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |

Mines still in progress but on its way to perfection. Rich, By the way I love the false floor man. Thats an idea i wanted to try too. The only down side is the weight. Im trying to compromise a little between sporty and beauty. __________________ | | | | | 12-19-2008, 01:40 AM | #11 | | Member Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: UK Posts: 38 |

I didn't spend nearly the time I planned on it, had other things come up, so I just got it done May re-do it in the future, but this works for now. I will post pics when the trunk's actually done, but these show the main idea. I wanted a place to store everything, and have an empty trunk. I am currently glassing in a sub enclosure into the left size of the trunk, same place BobbyDigital has his. And the wood will be covered in black carpet, and the inside will be as well to keep rattles inside.
