Amp questions
Basically I would like to mount a sub in the trunk well and have the amp mounted below this and it would be completely enclosed my questions are

#1. is this a good idea to have an amp completely enclosed the main reason is due to heat as there would be no way to get fresh cool air around the amp

#2. if this would work is there a certain amount of cubic feet I should have around the amp

Re: Amp questions
Here's what I did - and I'm having no heat issues - there's alot of space underneath for heat to dissipate:
