Default C5 Amp mounting spots

where have some of you guys mounted your amps so they are hidden. Will a smaller amp fit under the seat?

the traditional mounting spot for an easy stealth installation are behind the seats with MDF anchors under the carpet. Under the seat will work ONLY if you have a thin amp that doesn't produce much heat and if you don't have a power passenger seat.

IMO behind the seat is the way to go because you can reach the adjustments easier.

I mounted my amp behind the driver's seat...can easily reach behind while driving to make fine tuning adjustments!

On my coupe it's vertical on the inside of the license plate on the rear. Not hidden but out of the way and it cools.
