Opinions on where to mount amp

[MG200]

I have a 4 channel amp to power my speakers (no sub). Any opinions where to mount it?? It won't fit under the seat at least not without bashing in the bottom of the seat which i don't want to do. Opinions??

It takes a little bit of extra wire for it, but I bolted mine literally to the back of my rear seat. It looked pretty cool with the wires all going under the seat and everything, and with it bolted to the metal frame of your seat, it becomes a little difficult to steal.

Under a seat.

Pros: Closer to the receiver, so you can use shorter patch cables and signal cables, which are less prone to noise and signal degradation. Closer to the front speakers, so running wire to them will be easier. No cargo space sacrificed.

Cons: You may have to remove the seat to do the installation. Larger amps might not fit. You must elevate the amp to avoid contact with water from rain or snow brought in on passengers' shoes.

In the trunk or hatch area.

Pros: Plenty of room for large amps. Near the rear speakers.

Cons: You sacrifice some cargo space. Longer wires and patch cords required. If working in the trunk, tape over the latch, so you won't get trapped inside accidentally.

Pick one. If it doesn't fit under the seat, put in the trunk or behind the seat.

Thanks for the input. I mounted it to the back of the rear seat.
