I have a 185 watt amp I could possibly let go for the right price. 
i don't recommend putting something in a close spot. it will definitely head up and blow up. the closest thing i would put it is under my seat. other than that, DO NOT PUT IT IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT! even if you have a fan and everything. amp heats up really quick.

You're probably not going to find a very small 2ch amp without paying big bucks.
Unless car audio has changed since I last nerded out on it, 2- and 4-channel amps are still using a Class A/B switching design, while a lot of sub amps are Class D (smaller, efficient). I believe the Alpine PDX series amps are Class D digital 4 channel amps, but aren't cheap.
I wouldn't mount an amp in the glovebox or under the seat. It's just bad for ventilation. The best possible place for an amp is laying horizontal, in as open a space as possible.

they dont think it
youd pretty much have to go with a class d...like the pdx series or maybe the blaupunkt ahhhhh...cant remember the series name. theyre class d
check around google to find audio forum posts cause i dont think class d need that much air flow...but its been a while so i cant remember...

They don't need much at all, my 700W Alpine Class D doesn't even have a fan.
