I mounted my amp on the rear parcel tray... open the boot and you can't even see it unless you stand a distance back or put your head down and look up at the tray.
Pictures...

the problem with having it like that is amps like air, and they dont like being upside down, because your trapping the heat in and eventually will burn out your circuits. in theory its really good, takes no room, nice and tidy. but in my experience with amps the more air the better. you see in some sound off comps, people packin dry ice around there amps to keep em cool and running as efficient as possible.

just my 2c.

I doubt that an amp being upside down will affect it at all.

besides, from the look of that picture it appears to get plenty of air.

It gets plenty of air... if anything it gets more air than it usually would... It is on a flat metal surface, as opposed to sitting carpet...
Also, it runs very very cool... did some reading online and people do make commets about how cool it is.

heat rises does it not?? so when an amp is upside down, all thet heat is trapped inside of it. it cant vent the heat out .

I would think it all depends where the fans are on the AMP. My old Boss amp had 2 fans on the bottom of it.. so i flipped it upside down... ran fine
