Subject:      Amp Under Front Seat OK?
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I have a 150x2 watt amp (no built-in fan) that I'd like to locate under the
driver seat to save space elsewhere and to simplify installation (will power
front speakers only).  I know this location isn't generally recommended on
passenger cars because of limited air flow, but I know some have done it in
their Vanagons.

Has anyone had any problems with this set up?

Does it generate noticeable (annoying) heat when your sitting?

There is about a 1.5" gap along the front edge of that under-seat
compartment.  Would adding a small DC accessory fan there be effective in
cooling (there isn't an opening at the other end)?

Thanks,

James V
