Ever have any heat issues??
Just wondering......a buddy wants me to hang his amps from the roof of his van, and I keep telling him he shouldn't do it that way.....

would it be that big of a diffrence upside down or up right? they still have enough room for air to move inbetween them and wouldnt the subs push the air past them and cooling them off sort of? I dont know i think upside down looks better. I would do it that way if my car had a trunk :P, but i am stumped right now because i really dont know were i want my amp to be and since my car is a hatchback then i cant really mount them up there ..... i think im going to have to take a look at peoples hatchback setups so i can get a good idea :P lol

Many amps utilize convection lids and because heat goes up (duh!
) by inverting them you take this away and risk damage to the circuit board. If the amps were fan cooled this would minimize or remove this risk. Just my $.02

I think pretty much everyone cooks one under a seat at some point....my sacrificial lamb was a nice late 80's Kenwood 2 X 100 that didn't like it under the passenger seat in my '76 Buick Electra Ltd......
380w for 6X9's eh?......
