my sub amp is in the spare tire well, with the spare tire (wrapped in a towel to protect it lol)

I would like attach it to the back of your backseat, so it's pretty much out of the way and looks sweet too... but that might take some doing

I Think I will try doing it under the passnger seat, im tearing up the carpet and trim all around the outside of the car (im repleacing the carpet)... so the install should be easy. Then I will put my 2nd amp in the spear tire area.. or behind the backseat. If any of you guys have photos of your installs on the backseat or under the passenger seat I would LOVE to see them!

If you're going to do that, make absolutely sure you have a way to get fresh air in and out around your amp. Wrapping the amp in a towel is just going to make it overheat.

my amp sits in my trunk. it'll still overheat and shutoff if it's 90 degrees out, but i can't imagine it being wrapped in a blanket under a seat.
