    So you think the back seats would support my amp mounted to it? I want to do an easy install to minimize loss of trunk space.

    so far the passenger side rear seat has not been liking it

    That's what I was thinking of anyway because I have 2 amps and 1 sub, so the sub can block the single seat and the amps on the double fold down.

    Is that how yours is set up?

    I have 2 amps on my rear seat, just get metal screws and it secures it tight/ had to have them on an angle tho

    I live in an apartment so I don't have the tools to get too crazy with the floor. Also, I wonder about the cooling that way. As for the seat back install, any pics Blue? And why sideways... for fitting or mounting surfaces?

    You can also try mounting them to your sub box if there is space on it. But about the back seats dont bolt the amps there because of heat issues, unless your going to have a nice breeze going through the trunk to keep them cool.

    Thats if you are working the amps to the limit, since i have 1000w to the (1) sub and 800w to the speakers/components, i have the gain about halfway. The only reason I have so much wattage was because I just used the amps I had from my previous SUV. I have the amps diagonal for fitting purposes. i'll try to snap a few pics later on today.

    well

    A.) My Sub box is too small for that (Running a single 1000 rms 10") and
    B.) It's not good for your amp anyway unless you build supports into the box so it doesn't flex.
