Amp placement in tC
This will probably get moved to ICE, but I figured here would work for now....
Gonna be placing a JL 500/1 amp (to power my JL 12w3v2) in my tC, and was hoping those of you who have somethign similar in size might tell me some of the best placements for it. Gonna have a custom fabb box in right rear well (hopefully) for the speaker, so, where would you suggest the amp go? Seen some under the spare tire cover, but didn't know if heat would be a problem there (Ohio resident).
Hit me with some ideas!

If that didn't work out, you could always fabricate a flat plate on the left side of the trunk, out of like 1/2" MDF or something, then cover it in matching carpet, and mount the amp to that.

Nice setups! I'm doing mine in an almost plain-jane setup:
Wedge box with 2 10" subs on the vertical side of the box with cap and my amps on the inclined side of the box with the distro blocks. Will take pics later once I have money for the box.

Paintball or Dyltone.. I can't really tell from the picture but do either of you guys have plexiglass or anything like that over the wholes in the trunk?? I'm thinking about placing my amp in the same place but I wanted to put a cover on it like plexiglass and maybe some fans on it to keep the air flowing. Now that I'm thinking about it, I could just put 2 fans (in the carpet) to get the air circulating. One blowing in and the other out. I don't really wanna show off the amp. I just wanna be able to place it in there to get the air flowing.. What do you guys think?

Probably not the stinger jobbies, but something similar.
