Class D Amp in Center Console

I'm installing this in my 1971 Blazer soon.

There aren't a lot of out of the way locations to install. The driver seat it hard to get out and the passenger seat lifts up for access for rear passengers. Although that's my second choice I'm considering installing in the center console "pictured".

I'm curios everyone's thoughts on heat implications. The amp is class D and I won'd be bridging it or running subs or anything. Just listening to the sweet soothing sounds of John Tesh.

John Tesh will cause this amp to burst into flames, instantly. Not advised

joking aside, the stagnant air could pose a problem if the amp is being driven hard, but if its running at a low ohm load with the gains set low, you should be ok

Ha! I can only presume the stereo will instantly eject the CD as soon as it's inserted.

Noted, I believe they will be running at 2ohms.
