| i mounted my amp in the factory position(on the right hand side of boot). the other one is infront of the wheel arch held by a bracket which is screwed into the metal at the back of the boot. it looks like it is not being held. |

Best advice i can give is just to mount it where the factory ones go, thats where mine is, looks good and is completely secure and gets adequate ventilation.
All i did was make up a custom mounting board for it then carpeted it and then mounted the amp on that. Looks good and is very clean too. (quite happy with the result ) seing as it was a first.
Personally i would just go with that. 
Good luck |

LOOK at my gallery dude!!! There is F*** all you can do unless you want a complete professional boot intall etc. I actually had a few ideas but to put them to reality it was gonna cost me quite a bit.
I had to have a custom box made up so that it would sit up against the front of the Gas tank (see Gallery) i dont believe it has effected the sound quality as the only difference it would of made was how loud it would be.
I have got it to stay in the one spot but later on down the track im gonna make up a proper boot linning etc so it all sits in thier properly.  |

poolep88,
I have a lpg tank and had the same problem. I made a box that fits in the boot floor recess, its about 150mm deep and holds 2 10in jvc subs. the box is easy removed to get to the tyre well. I made a board for the amps that has a hinge that pivots from the lpg tank mounting brackets. it is hinged so i can get to the lpg tank sender/valve box for service etc.
sounds pretty cool to me. makes the boot usless though. |

| It's always a tradeoff. My sub boxes have quick release fittings, so when I need boot space (or the fold down) they come out easy. |

Yeah we tried to velcro the amp to the sub box but it fell off when I left my driveway.
What we ended up doing was screwing the sub box to the floor of the rasied bit just behind the seats using 4 L brackets. Then put the amp on the back of tha using 4 screws. And finally put a bit of wood attached to the front of it using 2 more L brackets to stop it rocking.
That reminds I really should paint that wood. Green doesnt suit my gray boot carpet. |

just screw the amp onto tha box with a couple of self tappers.
use the velcro under the box to stop the box slidding around. make sure you put the velcro stripps with the hooks on the box underside (nor fur, fur is bad) |
