Amp(s) mounted in hatch shelf?, has anyone done this? Options

[KAMiX]

Can someone who's mounted an SUB in their parcel-shelf or whatever you want to call it give some feedback on sound quality?

I have sussed it out and there really isn't much clearance at all between it and the rear window. Usually it wouldn't matter but does having that much glass so close to the sub make any difference?

Thanks.

Goddamm maybe I should have named this thread "SUB(s) mounted in hatch shelf?, has anyone done this?"

In my retardedness I mistyped and wrote amp instead of sub at the top Hopefully that should clear some confusion up.



Fintan that is awesome, and something just like what I want to do.

If I didn't mind about using space up in my car I would just throw the subs in an enclosure in the back seat or boot, but I want to keep the car as usable as possible - that means being able to lay the seats down if I want, and having full boot space. Can anyone think of a better spot than the shelf? I could replace the rears with subs but I'd rather keep em. And building glass enclosures around the back corners is a cool idea, but you the jack space and stuff.

My Q has been answered in a roundabout way .... so thanks for that, but as I said I actually mean the subs, so obviously the heat won't make quiet so much difference as what you were all saying. Atm I am planning on mounting the subs in a similar type of shelf to Fintan, with the amps (1 for rears) under the front passenger seat.
