I've looked at as many pics as possible trying to see where folks have put their amps. I've looked everywhere to see where it would fit and still be out of the way. I checked behind the barn doors, behind the side trim in the rear, under seats, behind the spare...everywhere!!!! Didn't mean to rhyme there!
So, where have you put your amp(s)? I'd really like them to be out of the way and preferrably not even visible.
Thanks!

Mike,
I have my DVD player under the rear seat, I would think that the amp would be able to fit under there also (getting one added to my truck and that is where it is going). DVD player not visible to anyone but me and I can change the dvd's w/o having to get out of the drivers seat Hope this helps
I am editing my original post as it will not allow me to reply to this post
Mike,
My DVD is under the seat and I still the ability to slide the seat forward and back and also lay it flat (slept back there on my roadtrip to Florida and watch a movie or it watched me)
Eric,
The subs in your rear door, do they vibrate? Is it a custom enclosure (I remember on the old site you saying somehting like that but that you not happy with it if I am not mistaken) and most of all are you happy with them?

I have two large Kenwood amps where mounting was an issue for me as well.
The first (five channel) amp I installed under the driver's side second row seat, mounted on stand-off's about 3/4" high to allow the seat rail to move back and forth under them amp. I wanted to be able to use the seat normally and keep the amp out of sight.
The second (bass channel) amp is mounted under the third row seat between the rails, front-to-back. I don't take out the rear set, so this was not a problem.
Hope that helps.

Hmm..can't see your pics and can't find your registry to see if they're in there.
As far as the middle seat, does the amp get in the way when you fold it down flat? And I take the rear seat out occasionally so that's out of the question also.
Keep the ideas coming guys!

you could make a false floor covering your cargo area 3-4 inch deep right across and not loose the use of your fold down cargo area and know one would know looking in that the floor was a couple of inches taller than normal. |

I have a false floor behind the second row of seats and it works great.
Hope this helps....

Yes, the middle seat folds completely flat and doesn't impact the amp (or vice versa).
