Default C5 Suggestions

I've recently purchased a C5 coupe. My old car I had 3 JL 8w6 subs and 3 PPI 2400.2 amps, with MB Quart comps and comp crossovers for the front. (rears won't work in the C5). I've installed all the wires in the car and my head unit. I've bought a box for a single 10 now. I'm just not sure what to do with my amps. I want stealth. I don't want everyone to know I have amps in the car.

Anyone have suggestions? I thought about getting rid of 2 of my PPI amps and getting one 4 channel amp, but just don't know what to do.

behind the seats, on the vert. wall under the rear window, or make an amp rack that will sit on the rear shelf (behind the seats) that has a cover on it (carpeted to match the oem carpet)?

Been considering the second part. Back wall won't work cause I have my seat up against it tight. I've been looking for pics and design ideas for back there and still have room to put my targa top back in there.

just to give you an idea of behind the passenger seat. FYI you lose a few inches of legroom. just so you know incase you have taller passengers.

Thats not bad, still not sure loosing those inces of legroom is good. With the power seats I'm afraid of someone trying to push it back on the amp over and over. (ie wife)
