Aftermarket amp mounting location?

[Harley McIntyre]

I installed a 10in sub and an amp in my ex, but I couldn't really find any good areas to hide it in that still had decent airflow so it doesn't overheat, it gets pretty warm, right now I just have it zip tied to the 2 tie downs all the way in the back, anyone have any suggestions of a good area to mount it? I don't really like the idea of of it just sitting there.

I installed my amps under the seats and never had a over-heating problem (and these are some big amps)2016 Sport Audio up-grade (plus some)

Where did you put your ground wire? I would have put the amp under my seat but I could for the life of me get those seat bolts to break loose

When I do my stereo upgrade, I was thinking about using the jack compartment in the back. You could modify it to have some vents if you were concerned about overheating. If you look at my registry, I installed amps in my 2000 project truck inside the rear driver's side storage compartment, and never had any temperature management issues.

I have several grounding spots for my system. For the amps I used the seat mounting bolts I think, this system was installed 3-1/2 years ago and still pounding (cleaned any paint off for a good ground).
