Also for those of you whoinstalled them under the seats how many feet of power cable did you need?
big Tite, how much did you need to reach the back wall? or is your distribution block somepleace else?

I used a decent amount of cable since I did not want to run the power cable next to the radio antenna for fear of interference.
I ran mine over the engine (by the cowl) and through a pre-existing hole in the firewall next to the pedals. I then ran it behind the center dash (low to the floor behind the drink holders), and behind the carpet on the passenger side.
I pulled up the side plastic kick plates, and ran the RCA, power, and remote wires in that canyon, and covered them with the kick plate.
There are pre-existing carpet cutouts under the passenger seats, which I ran the wires through. I have enough extra wiring left to pull the amp & cap out. That results in a bundle of wires below the seat, but they are hidden so it works out good.
As for the cooling issues, I can't forsee any problems. The cool air from the AC will drop, and some will flow from the feet AC ducts. This air will travel under the seat, and circulate. There is a good amount of space between the bottom of the seat and my amp, so I'm not too concerned.
