Default New amp and location

Im looking into get a new amp. Which is a good 4 channel with 75watts per channel? Also where could I put it? I want a spot that is either in view where I can show it off when I get my speakers or a spot that is hidden but not under one of the front seats. Thanks.

what about the temp of the amp? wouldnt it melt the plastic? or suffocate the amp? i would think to hide it under one of the seats in the front or under middle seat.

i doubt it. he said 75w so im guessing hes pushing his door speakers and not a huge sub. 4 channel door amps dont get too hot. and if anything he could drill some holes or make a cool vented design.

and he also said NOT under the front seats.

if you like work....pull up the carpet in the back and plasma cut an access door next to where the jack goes and drop it in there.
