    it looks nice, but i have a concern...

    are those kicker amps mounted on the BOTTOM of a seat or the BACK of a seat??

    if its the back, not really an issue, but if its the bottom, then when the seat is "down" like normal, and the audio is pumping, you are going to have seriously bad heat dissipation problems. i have never seen an amplifier that was meant to be mounted upside down. show cars do it sometimes (such as the polk pickup that's got 2 momo amps on the roof), but it is a very bad idea - very very very horribly bad idea for normal use. and with some manufacturers it will void your warranty because it is not an "approved mounting method".

    its on the back of the seats. I actually had them move them so its both aligned straight. the guy that did the initial install liked them diagonal and I thought it looked funny plus it was hard to open the seats down. Both amps are on the back of the left seats. I'm probably gonna have the amps put on an amp rack in the rear and the subs will stay where they are. The 1200 seems to power the 2 15's without any problem. I was gonna go for the 2500 but the guys advised againts it because it was only stable to 2 ohms. I'm not really an SPL type guys more an SQ type as I had the momo's before but the insurance company replaced my stuff with Kicker stuff.. so like they said.. when in Rome...
