These are marine amps designed to sit inside the hull of boats out in the sun all day with no ventilation. They are crazy durable. They are rated IPX2 when mounted vertically with connections down.

That said, I have air gaps all around them to allow for convection cooling. This is a better arrangement then stacking horizontally (also super common with amps like this) where heat rises from the bottom amp to the top amp.

I've put the VXi and MVi amps under seats, in hidden areas, in closed areas, upside down, etc. They are super flexible. At $1k-$2k each, I'd hope they were durable!
