I have 2 amps mounted side by side on the back wall between the taillights(coupe). I did have to cut the tailligt covers about 1/2 on each side. The size of your amps will generally govern where you can mount them. I cant post pictures til I get home next week.

I also mounted my amp on the back wall. I bought the biggest amp that could possibly fit so I could stick with 1 amp and have as clean and stock look as possible.

I have a Z06 so the back wall was not an option (the trunk latch is dead center). Mine ended up right behind the seats in front of the partition...

That looks sweet! Is the tray custom? Did you fabricate it or have it done?

Thanks - No I did not make this. I had the system installed at my local Hi-Fi Buys and their instaler made the amp rack. I basically told him I was looking for something as "stealthy" as possible at that location and this is what he ended up making for me. With the mesh fabric cover on, you hardly notice it's there at all. It looks better in person - he painted the bottom of it silver to tie in with the exterior of the car and radiused the cover to tie in with the relief in the partition. Awesome attention to detail and the cost was cheaper than I could have got anywhere else
