Default Amp in a vert

The guy installing my amp sugested mounting my amp on the flat area behind my seats. I know about the gas tank he said would mount mdf under carpet.

Its a 6 channel JL amp. My concern is the amp so close to my top. He says the JL amp doesnt get that hot and there will be very little actual contact.

Does this seem ok?

Thanks

Mike
