    Within 2ft of the amp is best. Back of the box is perfect just in case the box slides a bit. Where is your amp mounted? Personally, even though i dislike them, all caps i use get mounted exactly 6" away from the amplifier and usually on a carpeted piece of wood directly behind the back seat. gives it a nice place to sit where the cap and the amp wont be vibrated to death, and is a really nice looking way to hide the wires without pulling up carpeting in the trunk.

    i originally placed it on the back of the box along wiht my amp but i was kinda just thinking of a cool place to put it.
