Under the seat. How you ask? Well of corse you need to raise your seat, you simply unbolt the rear anchor bolts and slide some big a$$ washers under it. Then bolt it back down. That's what I had to do, I lifted it enough to for a Punch Power 800 and enough room for the heat to disipate(veryyyyy important). Be advised that a long amp will still stick out the back of the seat. Oh yeah, one more option, on the back of the seat. What you do is unzip the back of the seat, get a thin piece of plywood and cut to fit under the skin of the seat. run the wires under that, zip it back up and mount the amp. I used to have mine like that then when I got the punch I found out that it was a little too heavy. I went to school with a guy that mounted his amp to the roof because it had a built in neon, well one day he came to class with stiches in his forehead, I got sick I laughed sooo much.

I just rested mine behind the middle console. That way I can get to it easily to modify the cables or setting I have it on.
I have 2 8" Rockford Fosgate punchs and 300watt Audiotek amp.

I have 2 Orion HCCA 225 amps that I mounted behind the rear seat back. Just removed the back rest, cut out whatever foam needed cutting out, slapped in the amps. I also mounted an Orion EQ, Crossover, Balanced line adapters, and Fuse blocks behind there, I just stuck the knobs towards the bottom so I could adjust them by sticking my hand down by where the seatbelts come from. In the next 2 weeks I'm gonna try installing an MTX thunderform.... Hope it sounds good w/ 2 10" Orion XTR3 DVC's !!!

I made a fit panel to go in the well under the left rear seat where the seat sits on there is a ledge sort of! out of 1/4 inch fiberboard , took the bottom seat out , mounted the amps to the board punch 800.2 and a punch 400.4 , they fit ! then I made a custom box the length of the left rear seat bottom 14 1/2 deep, tall and height , 29 inches long , Perfect for two kicker 12's , made legs about 3 inches high and screwed to the plate insert that sits in the well , then mounted the box to the plate insert with some brakets , this is a great way to put 2 12/s in 2 amps in and styill have the little seat to sit in , Looks awesome and pounds !
