Post by: N900 MJT on 21 December 2011, 11:41: Looks good - Try and hide the amp under the carpet for a cleaner look

Post by: Len on 22 December 2011, 13:23: Stupid idea to hide the amp! :rolleyes:

An amp needs to be in the open to stop it overheating!

I have had my amp in the wheel well of my mk3 for the last 6 months and it has never got too hot and it is constantly working as it is powering the speakers in the car!

Will get pics when I can :)
