A rear wall amp rack will not be visible from outside the car. If you have removed the spare tire and don't plan to use nitrous, you may be able to fit the amps behind the passenger's side rear tire.

I have a stealthbox and bought the rear amp rack from a guy on here. I am waiting on the amp rack right now, but I think it will be the cleanest way to isntall it and keep people from seeing it and wanting to steal it.

I couldn't find the thread, but there are a few guys here who have put their amps in a custom made enclosure that fits into their backseat (the part that folds down). I assume they have to gut out their back seat and it may not be the most comfortable place to sit (not that the backs seats are comfortable in the first place) but it hides the amps completely and is very unique if you ever want to show it off. That may have made no sense but it is the best way I can explain it.

I have my amps in a custom box that sits on the flat deck right behind the rear seats. The amp rack fits in between the 2 rear speakers and is wrapped in factory carpet to make it blend in. The rack is made out of MDF and sits up about 3/4" above the amps so I can sit things on top of the rack. I leave the rear hatch divider on top of the rack and it hides everything. I also have the 2 stealth boxes, one for both the passenger and the drivers sides.

Pics of the stealthbox and amp rack in the sig. It is a very clean setup that can be hid easily. The stock flap still conceals the equipment.

Default looks sweet..

looks sweet dude... but the only problem is i really wanna keep my T top space..
i hate putting them in the backseat... how are those subs by the way?.. i was looking into those... im only going to put 1 10" in the stealth box... do u think 1 of those will give decent bass??

thanks for all of the help guys... i think im def going to go with the amp rack/stealth box.. def looks the cleanest and decently hidden.

I posted mainly so you would see where to put the amp. Go with my amp set up and then put the single ten stealth box in. That will keep it completely clean and still leave plenty of room for your T-tops and give you usable space. The subs arent bad actually I am going to put in Focal's so that my stereo is all the same but you wont waste your money especially if your pushing enough wattage to them. The subs are dual voice coil so you can run a mono block at 2 ohms.
