Default suspended right side up (the CORRECT way to do it) under the rear deck...

the amp sits on two aluminum rails so air can circulate all around it as well.

Default I've had mine upside down in three cars, and never a single problem...

The subs in the trunk cause enough air circulation to adequately cool the amps.

Default Here's the rest of the pix

Haven't had any problems with overheating YET. Haven't gone through a hot summer with it (I'm in Seattle...) and with a newborn in the car, I'm mostly pumping out classical music at low volume.

Default you haven't had a problem.... YET.

there is no arguing that hanging an amp upside down is not good for the amp in the long term. Excessive heat draws back up into the PC board... and PC boards do not like heat.

Sooner or later you will probably experience premature failure of an amp for that reason. Unless you are lucky enough to get rid of it before that happens.
