Default Enhanced ventilation for trunk?

Has anyone done anything (non-destructive) to improve the trunk ventilation to help with cooling when running multiple amplifiers? The heat wave last week was a friendly reminder to me about how hot it can get (105+ days in the shade) and I'd like to get some better circulation going to ensure my amplifiers can stay cooler. I'm thinking more along the lines of 80mm - 120mm fans or squirrel cage fans positioned behind the passenger side vent, coupled with fans on the amp rack, but was hoping someone had done this before so I can get a better visualization of a working setup.

Are those the ones where squirrel's run around in a wheel in order to make the fan work? I've found the gerbil cage fans work much better for that...

I dont see why you couldnt.....you could mount it to the little structural brace that is just behind the passenger trim panel (the one with the hole through it), and the panel is already vented.....go for it.
