Safe to run amp in toolbox or under bedcover?

So with my new setup I won't be able to have my amps and batts inside my truck I've seen a lot of installs in toolboxes and under bedcovers but was wondering about moisture or condensation getting inside, has anyone else done this and had that problem? Especially with having to cut holes to run wires the only solution I could think of would be keep a small light on inside the toolbox to keep a small amount of heat or maybe lining the bottom with silica packets. Just don't want to ruin a couple grand in equipment if there's an easy fix or if condensation would be a problem at all

Just worried about the holes id have to make to run wires I guess a lot of silicone would have to be the only choice and run a small accordion style boot through to the cab

If I remember right, there's little rubber grommets you can buy that fit tight around 0 gauge wire for the 12+ and ground. Maybe you could strip the copper out of a little piece of 0 gauge to run your speaker wires through?
