[QUOTE="gckless, post: 7851378, member: 635756"] I thought there was too....Did it get removed? So it's still leaning against the box in your trunk? I would secure it to something if at all possible. Left unsecured it may bounce around back there, which can't be good for it, and in the worst case your connections could come loose and short out. Throw it on a piece of wood atleast, mounted on 1/2" to 1" spacers, with a fan blowing over/under it. Sonic electronix or ebay has some pretty good blower fans for cheap. On your amp the heatsinks are on top, which is where the amp is designed to dissipate the most heat, so ideally that is where you want to get the air moving across. You could even do it that way mounted on your box if you don't have room. [/QUOTE]
