Actually the cover will be out of there in the summer. I mostly wanted the cover so when I am carrying things it wouldn't scratch the stuff under it. Also, I had the same setup in the spare tire well in my 99 VW Jetta (huge spare tire well) and never had a problem with the amps getting hot at all. JBL amps get warm but that's about it. Now I have seen some RF amps and MTX amps that you could probably fry eggs on when they heat up. I plan on installing some fans though just to be safe. Once again I would like to tell everyone thanks for the kind words on my setup.
