Amps getting a little HOT

I have a 05 Acura TSX and just recently got an amazing deal on the subs and amp in a sealed box. I tuned up the amp's and it sounds really good except for the heat...I can jam for a little over an hr then it goes into protection, but when I leave the back seat down it doesn't. Unfortunately I cant always have it down since I play wheelchair basketball and have my chair back there most of the time.

I have a few ideas to put some fans in there and make an open amp rack for my sub amp. Both my amps a pretty close together so that might be another reason for the overheating. Another idea was to take the decommissioned stock 6X9's out and rig up some fans pushing heat out of the trunk. I live in Texas and it gets pretty hot down here so I want to be ready for summer and college trips.

If anyone has any suggestions or have links to making a nice amp rack please let me know. I build a lot of PC's so wiring fans in there shouldn't be a problem.
