Default Amp mounting ideas...

Looking at pulling out my stock Bose with some a JL setup I got off ebay. It came with a sheet of wood with black carpet for mounting the amps on, but trying to think of ideas for mounting that or doing something different. I have heard of some people gluing wood under the carpet to screw into. Thinking of maybe doing something like that. It will have a JL 300/4 and 250/1 amp and wiring for all of it. How have some of you mounted your amps. Not really looking at building anything to0 elaborate.

I mounted my Kenwood XR5S amp to the carpet/padding behind the passenger seat. I used the provided screws to hold it directly into the carpet and padding. Works great and no drilling or permanent mods required.

The rear vertical wall on C5 is great for mounting amps, and the center tub is perfect for a sub.

The verts don't seem to have the same flat back wall for amp mounting that the coupe's have.
