[QUOTE="AlterEgo99, post: 7592429, member: 610253"] I am partial to the JL Audio Slash series of amps but they are BIG. I had two at one time in my 1999 but in the 2008 they would not fit. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] So I looked around and decided the best spot for amps would be in the center console. It was big and deep and I didn't really use it for anything else. But I needed to find amps that would fit, and at the time the Alpine PDX series fit the bill. So, I purchased a PDX 1.600 for the subs and a PDX 4.100 for the mids and tweets. They are small and stackable and would fit in the center console. However, I really need to be able to find some way to move air over the amps so they didn't overheat. So, here is what I did. First, to create a "grill", I drilled a large hole on the inside of the console and mounted the highest RPM/quietest fan I could find. This fan would pull air into the console. So, on the drivers side of the console here is what I did.

I used the non-skid pad that came with the console cover and used a leather puch to create another "grill". This photo is of the console cover looking down from above.
