Minimal audio install

Run a couple of computer fans blowing across your amp(s) in a push/pull configuration. You can run the power to them from your amp turn on lead so they only blow when the amp is on. Someone makes a setup that is temperature controlled so that the fan only comes on when the amp reaches a certain temperature that you can set. I think it's Stinger? Perhaps two 80 mm case fans side by side blowing onto one end and pulling the heat away from the other end. I'm considering doing this whenever I get around to my audi install - probaly late 2010 at the rate I'm going!

I'll just have to give it a shot and see what happens. I have a spare sub-box that I can use for testing purposes, so maybe I'll install it tonight just to see.
What sucks is that it may work perfectly for about 6 months, then when summer kicks in, it may pose a problem.

Hey guys im doing audio install today myself. 1 JL 500/1v2 & 1 JL 10w6. I have run the power wire and dynomated the trunk. I still have to wire the amp and Bass ****. I cannot get the rear seat off. Can anyone help? I have taken the 2 screws by the seatbelts off already but there seems to be something under the cushion holding it down.

That's a good idea, and one that I was toying with, but at the end of the day, I can't see that helping too much. The air has no place to go as it will still be under the carpet. The only thing it would help is to not have the air stratifying.

I have three Rockford Fosgate amps mounted on both sides of the spare and have been running them for two years now without problems. Granted the summers here in the bay area aren't that tropical though so YMMV

I'm pretty sure there's a good detailed writeup on the 12V feed wire install on the G35 driver site. A quick search turned up this one at nicoclub
Sub install for 2009 G37 sedan : G35 and G37 Interior, Exterior and Audio
Once you pass the wire through the grommet in on the firewall, the pathway alongside the seats is pretty self evident once you pry up the carpet a bit. Plenty of room for two 1/0 wires if you want
