I'm getting mine installed next week. I'll be putting mine on the back of the seat most likely :)

It's just a box?? Haha. Just a basic system. Think I'll just go with the back seat :)

i mounted mine upside down to the parcel shelf in the boot, i was told they would over heat but last i checked the casing of an amp is a heat sync doesnt matter what way the things facing.... anyway mine works fine being upside down and there is plenty of places to run the cables through etc...

On the back of the back seat, if u fold the seats down to be able to store anything the amp my get scratched or damage cabling with items against them.

Under the seat. Safe and out

Mine has been under my driver's seat for over a year now and I love it that way...Highly recommend it that way + very easy to bolt on if you have bracing and know where it's safe to drill...
That can't be an ES ! :o

it isnt just about it getting wet. its also about damage from gear in the boot, cables being pulled out, inability to fold seats and carry larger items if amp is on back of seat.

oh and i will NEVER mount and amp onto a subbox or upside down under parcelshelf.
