Behind the Rear seats
On the side of the trunk.
If you want to be creative and have a nice display create a false trunk floor and have the amp flush mounted.

Is there enough room under the seats? In my 2K1 I have an amp under each seat...both electric and heated leather.

I don't think it is possible on each side of ski rack because of the carpet liner having space between it and the seats. The carpet liner also prevents on the sides. ANyone have pics of how they mounted theirs?

I mounted mine in the trunk right behind my seats. I did this on a 3rd gen, but I don't think it would be much different. It looks nice and was relatively easy. I removed my back seats and then took strips of metal (strong enough to support your amp, but something that isn't too hard to screw through) and drilled/screwed the metal strips vertically into the metal bar that holds the back seats down, and into the metal that is normally where the top of the back seats are. I used 2 pieces of metal. After that I just drilled holes in the metal strips for the amp, put the carpet that goes in the trunk behind the seats in and then mounted my amp to the metal strips with the carpeting inbetween them. It came out nice, and I wouldn't imagine mounting 2 amps would be much harder and they should fit nicely. I don't have any pictures, but if you want to know more let me know.

My trunk carpet is not flat against the seats. I rather not mount on box or on floor. Any other ideas?
