Talking Amp mount ideas

First off let me just say the amount of pics in the gallery is monstrously huge! So I am looking for pictures of various amp mounts and installs. I will soon be installing a couple of Rockford Fosgates and I'm looking for ideas. Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Yep for a large install most put them in the storage area above the spare.
Keep in mind though there is also a little room in the right rear quarter if you dont have onstar/xm or the left rear quarter instead of the sub/amp mounted there from the factory.

I would have to say, it depends on the size sub box you are going to run. Here is mine

but also my box is rather large, taking up pretty much the entire cargo area. It does push three RF p2 subs though.

My subs and amp are mounted in the space above the spare. Keeping the spare incase of emergency. I only lost about 2 inches of floor space. Depending on what series of Fosgates you run you might be able to do the same.

I will say that mine makes it difficult to access the spare. But what a trade off! I can literally shake the hat on my head?

All done! Took it to my work to have it installed. They did a great job I love the way it looks. (don't expect any pics to soon) Now I just have to take it back for them to get rid of the whine. Or I could just buy tons cheese to go with the wine.
