I am looking at adding an amp under the rear bench seats? What amps dimensions fit under the seat and what models are you guys running?

Im running a Genisus 5 channel but it has a build-in fan.

I wouldnt trust anything under there without one.

some xjs came with a factory amp under there

no fan and no idea what its other than its an infinity and has the Chrysler name and logo on it.

15 years old and a ton of miles blasting music on it, still works. no heavy gauge wiring going to it though so it can't be too intense.

I searched google and found an alpine amp with similar dimensions as this one that I want to put in. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_236TH90...x_904&skipvs=T

Anyone know if this amp runs to hot to be put under the seat?

I have a little 4 channel 400watt under my seat. No fan. And drive to and from college several times a year @ 4hours. And it over heated once on the trip about 3 and a half hours in, when it was like 97 degrees outside. Other than that for regular driving in heat or cool weather it's fine under the seat without a fan.

I have a 1100W Sub amp (no name) under my seat with no problems, but I don't run it hard.

Under the rear seat on the passengers side?




I've got a Rockford Fosgate amp for my sub under the drivers side rear seat and just ordered a fan and relay for it for extra insurance against overheating. For fresh air under the seat, there's a pre-cut hole behind the carpet on the rear seat support on the drivers side by the door (on my 2000 anyway). I just cut out the carpet to reveal the hole in the steel support and plan on installing my fan by it when it arrives.

Edit: Amp Dimensions: 7-2/3"L x 7-2/3"W x 2-1/2"H with lots of room left over (carpet and pad removed under amp)

has dimensions so you can figure it out easier.

I've got a little Pioneer amp under the rear seat, driver side which hasn't over heated in the couple years I've been using it.

Thanks everyone. I ended up ordering this amp http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0038FNIBW
Can not wait to wire everything up. Have a happy New years.

for what its worth the factory amp is under the seat on the drivers side.

i would imagine it runs cooler there being further away from the exhaust.

you will be happy with it, just take the front top cover off and you will be fine.
