damn, I was just gonna say to put the amp behind the changer door. when I did my brother's install last weekend we used the board I made for my Viper amp and mounted his Sony back there. If it wasn't for the big ass JL box in there you'd NEVER know there was a system in there.

just make sure you get lots of ventilation. under the rear deck is not really an ideal location but if you get a couple of fans in there you should be all good. some have used this location without problems but since heat is bad...

If you mount them right side up and leave airspace there's no problems with using the rear deck. That amp barely gets warm when its run hard.

Or you could try just mounting them upside down. Again, not ideal and I'm sure lots of people will say don't ever do this, but I have not had one problem, and I've run this amp pretty hard for a while and it's never tripped off. I've got some fans on standby just in case I ever have a problem I can install them.

as long as you dont mount the amp upsidedown I dont think you will have a issue.

Tidalam, where did you get those brackets from? That look like threaded u bolts?

see above, upside down can be okay too.
