Exclamation Sub and Amp Mounting Question

I just purchased two 12'' subs, a Zenclosures sub box, and an amp. I am wondering where I can mount the amp and how to make the wires all hidden. I was thinking the most practical spot to mount the amp is right on top of the gas tank sense it will be right in front of the subs.

Let me know the best way to wire it so all the wires are hidden please! Here is the subs, amp, and sub box I bought.

I mounted my amp on the drivers side above the gas tank. Ran the wires down the drivers side panels, under the carpet and to the amp. Very well hidden.

Depends in the size of your amp but mine was quite small so I was able to mount it in the wheel well where the spare used to go. Gets covered up with trim piece so besides seeing my stealth sub you would never know I added anything.

Buy some mdf, mount it to that area using the bolts that hold those loops on back there. You can countersink the holes in the mdf or use risers to lift the amp. Drill holes for your wires. Add mdf blocks that run the width of the mounting board (creates channel underneath for the wires to run), carpet it and you're done. Did mine like this and it was pretty cheap and looks great. I'd recommend buying risers (lowes has them in the nuts/bolts area) and raising the amps for airflow.
