[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8869974, member: 689267"] Awesome, going to be a nice setup indeed. They are correct regarding the DSP, once it issetup, you should only be doing minor volume/fader adjustments (if any) from the HU. To that point, I would mount them where they charge you the least amount to do it!!! Lol, It gets plenty hot here in Boise ID in the summer (95-105) for short durations and my setup is all in the rear hatch area. I also have limo tint on the cars windows, makes a marked difference. I've done under the seat in a number of builds and accessing controls is rarely a consideration. Spilling drinks and accumulated garbage/things that fall down under the seat was always more of a worry. If they think that under the seat is best, due to the heat, then that works too. When the car is parked the ambient temperature of the interior usually only varies by a factor of 5-10 degrees, anywhere in the car so placement unless in direct sunlight (and even then) should not hinder operation. I doubt that the interior of the car ever exceeds the operating temperature level that the amp is designed to work in. the shop should know your area and the thermal limits. I would be inclined to put all the equipment in the back, personally. I would put them where they fit the best. Under the seats is nice in that they are out of the way for sure. Did we cover damping?
