Re: wher to place my amp?

no no,its a two door like the convertable's you guys have there exept that there is a bar that goes over the top of the car, kinda like the vdub golf mk1 cabrio. in sa we never got pillarless convertables in the e30 shape ony the e36 and up.

Re: Stereo turning on and off

if you got an amp connected to it, it may be that your power cable is too small, especially if you tried to run your head unit and your amp on the same power feed. otherwise look for damaged wires, loose wires or bad grounding. and i doubt it but maybe check your fuse's :)
