Spare tyre area... or pull a foam piece out... mount to back seat or back/side of sub box... once you get your 86 you will find a way ... I actually want to buy another amp... a smaller one |

If its a small amp you could find fit it under the seat. But I think putting it where the foam things are in the boot works best.

Not anymore, they don't.
Here's how I mounted my amp (This photo was before the rack was powder coated black): 3mm Steel mounting on the the thread screw ends that are there from factory.Plenty of space for the cables to run out from under it. |

even a small one wont fit under the seat i dont think... i did try soft fitting one underneath there (without unbolting the seat) even with the seat lifted as much as possible and no go.
