How did it look with the carpet over that? I would think you would be able to see it bulging out.
You'll be happy with the Dynomat

actually that is a common solution to mounting amps in a car without having to drill into the car itself. most use silicone becuase it's not permanet but some do use liquid nails (the tan stuff that you had to chisel)

Look for old panelling. Might have been a spare bedroom.

As others have said, it looks like a hack install. Hopefully the former owners did not pay for work like that, but worse yet do something like that themselves.
