nope, u prob need 2 fans (pull n push system). but i dont even think there's enoouh space under the seat unless u put a really small one.

try mounting to the back of the rear seats, if you can. should fit nicely, without taking up too much space. lots of room to breathe, too.

You should measure the space under your seats first so you will know what size of amp fits in there.

Alpine 4 channel amps are small, they should fit under the seat, but if you can hook it up in the trunk it will be better.

I have a subaru wagon and my amp installed in my trunk was stollen last week so now im moving my new amp under the seat until i have time and money to build a better amp rack (hidden or stealth) in my trunk.

I have installed amp under the seats of a Honda Accord (1992) they weren't very big so they fit ok. If the amp isn't very big, (and granted its not a cheap amp) you shouldn't have any overheating problems.

Remember that the design of the amp corelates to the possibilities of overheating. I had a PPI A1200 in the trunk of my 63 Nova. It was underneath the Enclosure with insulation covering it from cosmetic damage from the box; it never overheated once. Cheaper amps will typically overheat quicker than a better built amp.

ok, thanks so i will just have to do some more plannig I am curious about under the seat cuz i live in the middle of the hood and i dont want my beats to get jacked. I believe that a system should be heard and not seen. And I like the idea of shorter pre-amp wires to the amp.

I mounted my kicker kx150.4 (4 ch amp) under my passenger seat. I did this because I had no room on my back seat with my sub amp on it. I took out the senter console and ran 14 gauge speaker wire to all of my speakers. I know you can use a higher gauge wire, but i wanted 14. My amp is fine and works well. But I don not know about a bigger amp. My amp is pretty small and seemed to fit perfectly.
