Yeah pc Fan wouldn't be a bad idea... not really needed though...
Get some colourful rainbow ones, or single colour ones from www.ebuyer.co.uk...
Only cheap, and look pretty good too... have them set to come on with the amp or somethin!

If you want to fit them they can be wired up with the positive attached to the remote of your amp, and the negative to the amp negative...
That way the fans only come on when you turn your headunit on..
But personally i think they are unnecessary.. a pc fan isn't going to circulate a large volume of air... and where is it going to get the air from? they are just going to push the hot air around your amp...

You haven't got an amp window either... my acryllic has a small gap around it, and will allow some airflow to the amp itself... where as yours is completely covered over..

How would you do a false floor for a double sub box?? I think its the same as yours just a double version, i have mine sitting so the sub is facing out towards the boot lid, didnt realise it could lay down.

well with the false floor you would just draw around the carpet for a basic guideline
the you could turn the boxes round like furioals but lengthways if you catch my drife you should still get an amp in the middle

Yeah you could lie them down whichever way you want them and draw round them...
or do what predator did and buy a custom bootbuild from ebay or somethin, which splits the subs up to one each side with the amp in the middle...
I'd love something like it myself.. its just the money right now.. as always! lol
