Amplifier Mounting Solutions

Above looks like all sedan solutions... I'm about to drop one in a wagon. The 3rd seat area (the 2nd tray, further away from the hatch) is perfect-sized but heat/lack of circulation concerns me. Was thinking of under the pass. seat as well.

Anybody have comments/thoughts on either? Thanks

I put mine on that shelf, not a real large amp

Chupacabra has two 500W amps in that same flap....

looks like it's mounted on the door of the shelf area, ie, on the flap you lift up, facing down?

If that's what we're seeing and it's working for you I'm sold on that location. Upside-down amps can't dissapate heat as well (not beating up your install spot, just observing) so a lay-flat install should do fine. And there's always a 12V PC fan if not...

..Fixed the image size & rotation.

Never had any heat issues - I used the same location/setup in my 740T and 960 for 5 years prior to moving it over to the XC. It's not a huge amp - Chupacabra has two 500W amps in the same location - I'd ask him if it's exhibited any heat issues.

..That's where mine are mounted.
