Where to place the amp?

I wanted to put a system in my car. But i realized that my car seats do not fold down lol. I was wondering where can i place or screw down my amp in the trunk so it doesnt roll around loosely? I also, i wanted to know where everyone placed theirs?

You could remove the seat back and screw it on to it, then replace the back, but I've got mine under the rear floor.

~Cheers~

My amp is also mounted to the sub box. Works great and saves room in the trunk.

What I did.....I simply placed it on the back of the seats with small screws(so they dont go through and stab people in the back), if you have a heavy amp just screw it on the subs and lock your trunk from inside the car with your key.

best way is search the internet on what people use to do custom boxes and that way you will find your material, you need..the carpet for the box you can find on ebay for cheap...and then you can use 3M spray and glue the carpet to the box..

but first you need to measure them out..

one thing my box has less footage in it
