Are you referring to the compartment where the rear washer fluid is..? I was thinking about maybe two Rockford Fosgates....

some people mount their amps to the underside of the rear seat. then it is easier to adjust your amp settings

If you use the right side, and have heat generating,high powered amps, you might consider getting a little fan for them inside there. :D

If I mount them under the rear seats.. will it interfere with the seat folding down, it looked like a very small space underneath...

not if you mount the amps upside down on the underside of the rear seats. then they will fold down all the way.
