Much better than my current Diamond 4chan laying on the trunk floor, soon to be secured to back of pass rear seat. It's a challenge to make space in a car that you pretty much "wear", rather than sit in.

I checked it out, I see the space you're talking about...but the plastic panels for my trunk have seen better days
None of them really fit together right anymore...I think the weight of the amp on it may cause it to sag. I might look into this regardless once I have the amp here and can test-fit it in spots.

I'm not sure how the wiring part will play out either. I'm only looking at amplifiers that have ALL wiring connections on one side, for simplicity. I'll know more once I'm able to look at it more closely. I'd be interested to know what computer / module is under there, if you ever figured it out...I guess I'll find out once I start taking stuff apart to get this in there.

I've done this before too...makes for a nice easy installation, no permanent car modification required. The only problem is, this also makes it easy for thieves...although the only way they'd see it is if they actually saw in your trunk. But yeah, trying to go sub-free in this car for now (may change my mind later).

Go to a hardware store (I got mine from Lowes) and pick up a pack of screws with plastic anchors. Mark your holes and drill them out to the recommended size, insert the plastic anchors, screw your amp down. I used this method in my Saturn and it was rock solid. I was hit very hard in this car (totaled the car) and the amp was still mounted as solid as when I first mounted it.

That's a great idea, hadn't thought to use those. Will keep in mind if I do end up using the seat back.
Thanks for the input everyone, keep it coming
I'll be sure to update with pics and stuff once (if) I get this done they way I'm imagining it.
