Default c5 amp mounting

Has anyone ever mounted their amps behind the seats on the C5? Can anyone think of a reason why it won't work?

I have seen many people mounted their amp behind the pass. seat and they look fine and work fine especially, they can ground it to the seat.

I did not mount my amp there but I did mount the control box for my HU there. Behind the passenger seat that is. I used silicone adhezive to attach a piece of birch plywood to the body of the car behind the seat. Then mounted the box to that. No screws through the body.
