    Where is this amp rack thread? I was planning on doing the same thing once I need more than one amp. For now I just mounted it on the side of the trunk like so:



    Yeah yeah yeah I know it'll fall off eventually, but I'll have moved it before then.

    The 3rd brake light is on the spoiler on 04+. And I've read not to mount amps upside down under the deck because they retain the heat a lot more.

    oh yeah about the 3rd brake light and mounting it their will make no difference than sideways of flat air flow is what matters and if that was the case you could mount it upside down and take the cover off and not have to worry about something smashing it or sitting on it

    the thread is on the third page of this section of the forum. also is there any place to mount it under the seats or anything where that will just hide the amp completely?

    Just mount it upside down (or heck, rightside up if you're weird) on the bottom of the rear deck. Or screw it to the skinny rear seatback. Or screw it into the side of the trunk. Or mount it to the trunklid and work on arm strength. These are your only options; there are no others. Any ideas you may have beyond these are ridiculous and will not work.

    Nice amp, I have the gta 504 4 channel amp running my interior speakers and an alpine MRP-M500 mono block amp running my flat kenwood 12 inch sub. I built an amprack that sits just beneath the rear deck.
