    Default amp in rear of vp wagon? help?

    hi all,
    i just fitted in 2 new pioneer 6x9's 400watt in the rear, looks stock, had to do some metal work but it good now.
    a quick question to as where i may put a 2 channel jaycar/response amp in my vp wagon?
    atm i have a crappy little 2 channel amp under the front passenger seat that is powering the 2 6x9's, but is like half the size of the jaycar amp.
    i gotta find a spot in the rear somewhere but out of the way, 1 thought i had was bolted to the floor right up against the back seat, or on that flap behind the back seat, or to make up a bom for it to sit on or so, im really outta ideas

    any help please, maybe even posts of pics of ur setups might give me a fair idea on what to do

    yeh i have that problem too, i did this last year buy now changing it again cause its to impractical i reckon. Your best best would be on that metal flap on back seat for a quick fix, but im now going to box in the right wheel arch with mdf and mount the amp flush with the mdf and carpet it so its not in the way and i can still fold the back seat down and it wont look out of place etc.

    it can be easily bolted to the side of the wagon on a hinge so you can fold it up into the window indent to fold the seats back.

    yeh im gettin rid of that sub, its had it i think. I think the best place would be to make a little box on the right or left wheel arch, but mount the amp flush with the box so nothing can knock it and it wont get in the way if you want to lay the back seat down.
