If you are still concerned, you could remove the bottom of chassis, and drill a few holes in it to vent the heat, and mount it with small spacers under the feet so air can move about.
I'm sure you'll be fine, whatever you chose to do.
Thanks for the info, Ron. dunno if i want to drill holes in the amps though. from what i understand JL amps dont run too hot but i will be running one in parallel, since i want to run the speakers to their full potential, and im not sure if it will heat it up enough. I really like the idea of running the amps behind the seats.
