I live in Tx and am already having overheating problems with the amps. I have an aviation instrument panel blower set to hook up to provide ventilation, but I am not sure that will be enough and would like to regain my lost trunk space. I have a spare JBL GTO 755.6II amp that would look good behind the driver's seat, but its a pretty large amp and I am hesitant to start cutting on my trim without a firm game plan.

Jeff,

Acctually there is about 4 inch's towards the bottom in-between the outer panel and the iner-firewall and it tapers off towards the top. This is where the factory monsoon amp is installed and where I installed my CarPC unit. The unit fit perfectly and it run's the entire Info-media System in the car!
