I have a big 4 channel amp that I mounted behind my spare tire. it sits between the tire and power antena, there isn't a whole lot of room, but I haven't had any problem, I bought a few metal braces and locking bolts and put them through exsisting holes in the area where the spare tire goes. With this setup I can't use the spare tire holddown as it will pull the tire right up against the amp and I want to have space so it canbreath. I haven't had any problems with this except hte tire hitting the amp a little over bumps, but a couple of rubber bungie chords between them has stopped that noise, and the spare tie hold down isn't need since the tire isn't going to roll out or anything. The main reason i did this is so that if someone borrows my car, nothing can hapen to my amp, like someone throwing a bag in there and having some metal strap ground out on the power wire or some other weird mishap. also its real nice for keeping prying eyes from stealing, cause if you advertise someone might notice and take your equipment. To take out my amp they'd have to remove the tire-Pain in the @ss then the bolts=even worse pain in. so it works well. If I can get my camera phone to work on my computer again i'll snap some shots for you.
