Amp boxes

Ok, I have seen several systems where there amp is enclosed in a box as well, and I was wondering how many of you have this, have pics of it, and possibly a set of plans to make one. I posted this right before school, so I didn't have time to search, so if someone has already asked this, tell me and I'll gladly search when I get home again . THANX!

proly not a good idea to have an amp enclosed in a box. the heat will just build up. it needs air to breathe just like us

I'm sure they have fans or somethin in there with the amps, or I would hope so anywayz. I think having everything enclosed looks really nice and clean, because you don't see any wires period.

my car is a work in process to be done in the spring, but basicalyl what im gonna have when its done is a box to sit over where the gas tank is. It's gonna be carpeted in black, w/the chevy bowtie cut out in the center w/plexiglass in the hole. The inside will be painted white, w/black speckle on it. The amp and my cap will be in there. Then i'm gonna put green rope neon around the outline of the bowtie on the plexi. Also i plan to rig up 2 cpu cooling fans on the box to vent out the air, basically of the remote turn on of the amp, so whenever the amp is on the fans are.

That sounds exactly like what I wanna to, with some variations. You have any plans for that?
