Well both your options are good, just figure out what you would prefer. I need an indash to work my ipod because of all the music I have, so it was an easy decision for me.

 

hi a went 2 my lochal sound shop 2 b told i had 2 go 2 the honda garge 2 get my new cd player fited is there any way around this!?!?! and secondly how the f****n hell do u get it out i had the face of the clooks of and got behind it a bit but i couldnt c any way posabil of geting it out it looks like its joind 2 the heater switchys any help wouuld b g8 ??!?!?!?!

 

You have to get the cubby installation kit or the Metra radio replacement kit. The radio and climate controls are one unit in the 7th gen.

 

sorry i meant mount them to your back iof the seat im sorry gave wrong opinion sorry finch i mounted mine to the back of seat and they work fine do u have it running on an extra battery or just the stock battery? my bad i edited it for my opinion you will hjave more cold air if you mount them to the back of tyhe seat

 

Not the best idea in the world.

1. If you use the heat in the car, you're going to blow hot air over the amps, which isn't good.

2. Blowing air over the amps has moisture in it, not the best thing to blow through an amp.

 

Never even thought about that as I don't even think I've used my heater. A/B switching amps produce too much heat if your going to be blasting music to go under the seat anyways. If you have an A/B amp under the seat you better be willing to replace it, the kenwood amp I have is under my seat and I'm just waiting for it to die. Now if your running one of these newer small digital amps then I think you can get away with it. The PDX amp I have in my boat produces almost no heat. A larger digital amp should defianlty be left out in the trunk with room to breath.

I've always been weary of mounting any amp vertically though, even these new digital amps. There is no need too, and when airflow is restricted all you have is the mass of the heatsink keeping the amp cool.

 

i gave the wrong opinion i editred it i told him to mount it to tyhe back of the seat so he has more room in the trunk and it has enough cold air to keep it cool

 

Back of the seat is even worse..... Heat rises, and really the only thing keeping these amps cool is the mass of the heatsink not air current. If you have the amp on it's side the top of the amp will run much hotter.
