I'm trying to enhance my sound quality in my max by installing new speakers and an amp. Where is the best location for a 200 watt amp though? Will it fit under the front seats or should it just be placed in the trunk? suggestions...

Do you think that there would be a heat problem under the seats?

during the summer if ur car is outside most of the time its gonna be hot either way, im not sure bout when it cools off, it jus depends on how much power ur tryin to get out of it-

Im just a lil curious are u gonna run a sub of a 200w amp? if you are thinking about doing that you should think about gettin a high wattage amp maybe 600w at least.. the amp will never push out the max 200w so you will be cut down to about 70w x 2 depending on how many ohms, it could actually go lower.. if anything you should use that amp to juss amplify your interiors.. just my 2 cents..

I'm actually going to use the amp to power just the speakers. I bought some infinity kappa's to put in. Components in the front and 2-ways in the back. the sub isn't in the plan quite yet.

It depends on what kinda amp it is for me to say its safe under the seat. If i t was me i would not even think bout putting an amp under the seat. Best place for amps is always the trunk. Don;t try to be fancy with amps just mout it to anything in the trunk even to the box of the subs or if u r using fiberglass its different. What i like to do in Maximas is mount it to the left or right side of the trunks with the karpet in the trunks and if its a black or silver amp it will look good. Just mouth it and poke a hole to the left or right and run the wire behind the panels very easy mouting and running wires max 30 min maybe. Good Luck
