as long as the amp is in a well ventolated place, then it should be ok.
where and how is it installed (how being, upside down etc)

kind of side ways on the back of the bass box. is this a problem??
and its in the boot
so the amp is sitting on the side of the box in the boot. there shouldn't be a reason for it to over heat as the hot air from the amp will be able to rise.
mmmmh
i can only think that it was (well, here it was) hot today and you are playing the tunes very hard!
or
you may have the wrong sized fuse in the power cable causeing too much power to the amp and allowing it to over heat before it blows up. what fuse is on the amp and what have you put up near the battery?

the amp is sittin on the back on of the bass box and facing towards the back seat and very close to. not very well ventilated at all to be quite honest. i just been told too, that amps are best flat as the air rises straight up. whereas now, the air is rising into itself
tut tut
what you think ???
PS youve been a great help srs !!!!!!!!!!!!!
:oops:
ohhh i have gone all shy!
i put my amps on the back of my seats, and the bass box hard up against it. i have never had a problem, so i dont think you should have either.
yes, amps are best laid flat for the reason you said. but this is practicle if you do a proper install or secure it in some way.
as long as the hot air rises and does not get trapped in the unit (ie. upside down or in a sealed inclosure) then there shouldn't be a prob. i would check the fuse ratings. remember the heat is generated by the power and work rate the amp is doing!

Where is the best place to put the amps so they are well ventolated place
I got one on side of the sub box as its built in.
other one on back of the seat...
Are these a good place.
On the side is generally ok, you normally only have problems if the amp is upside down.
If your getting overheating, you should add some fans to the system
wood is an uinsulator, so it is a bad place to put the amplifier. Use 5mm metal spacers or something similar if you must mount it there.
