SUV vs. Sedan in air circulation

hey,

i have a jeep and i was wondering if my amp (which has a cooling fan) would get better air circulation that a small sedan where the amp would be in the trunk because in the SUV you have more space for air to flow around...

is their anything you can do to make air circulate batter so that your amp doesnt overheat? what about opening my back windows, so the air goes straight to the back, would that help?

thanks alot

9 times out of 10 an amp wont overheat unless you are clipping the h3ll out of it or you have it run below its recommended resistance.

what is the amp in question here?
what subs?
what resistance load is the amp seeing?

how do you know if you are clipping the subs?

basically if you turn up your volume to much and your subs start sounding really bad and producing noise more than a deep bass

Just make sure that the amp isnt really close to anything (seats, box, floor,) on more than one or two sides.

Its most likely the amp thats messing up not where you place it, however.
