I had a nice MTX 4-ch amp in my old Contour, but it stopped working, and replaced it with an Alpine amp. When I picked up that amp, the guy I got it from told me that having an amp under the seat was a bad idea, as it didn't get the circulation it requires. What he said made sense to me anyways.
I have since purchased my dads 98, and I'm about to install all my goodies (I really cant deal with the factory set up no more) and I was wondering if I should put the amps in the trunk.
I have 2 amps, 1 for my Sub, and 1 for the doors. I was gonna install them both in the trunk, and run 1 4 ga wire from the battery back, and then split it at the back, as the 'new' tour has a power seat, so I really couldn't put an amp under that seat, not to mention I really wouldn't want to. The only reason I put the amps under the seats in the first place was to keep trunk room.
Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.
Mike.
