Default Amp Install Locations

Hello..

I have seen many C5 custom stereo's install's. I plan on finishing off the install to my fathers car during Thanksgiving Break. I have a sub amp which I plan to mount on the back panel similar to Speed-Racers... then I have a problem with a location for a small amp for the fronts and rears... I have seen some that install the amp under the seat... others in the back in the center compartment..

What would you recommend? I plan to do the install in one of these places....

I was wondering if it would be smart to install the 2nd amp in the center compartment under a custom made box? or what about the other compartment?

I am worried about it overheating in a enclosed space but I dont know where to install it safely... I could just place it in the openoff to the side.. since I still use my hatch area to store my top I must be carefull...

Most small amps aren't really that great to show off. I'd stick it under the seat
