Thanks buddy :-)

I don't think the cross overs produce any heat as they basically take the signal and just send the correct frequencies to the respective driver.

In the past I've known people wrap the crossovers in foam and mount them in the door however I didn't really fancy having them rattling around in the door so put them in the boot as it should be easier/better in every way apart from requiring 2 runs of cable as opposed to one from the crossover to amp.

The actual part of the boot I've used to mount the crossovers is where the factory amp would be placed if I had upgraded the system at the time of ordering. I'm pretty sure even if Class D the amp would produce a slight amount of heat and certainly more than a cross over.

I will be mounting the amp on the rear of the seat I think. Don't really want to but its quite a big amp so not going to have much choice. It should be the only visible piece of kit that doesn't like OEM.

Thanks again
