Default Mounting amp behind passenger seat

Hello all, 1 quick question: Is there any danger in mounting my amp behind my passenger seat? Will I damage anything with the mounting screws?

Thanks,
maurice

silicone a piece of mdf behind the carpet and then mount the amp to that. you wont have to worry about puncturing anything and it's reversable if you want to sell the car stock.

Do NOT drill into the metal area behind the seats, the gas tanks are located there. One on each side. If you don't have a power passenger seat, under the seat is also a good location for most amps.
