I had mine where the back of the back seat went, centered it and had a cap on the trans tunnel then the 2 boxes were on top of the rear deck area. I also used to have the amp inbetween the subs up there too.

This was one of my old setups. Under the platform was the AV controller, xbox and cd changer.

My rear window is tinted... dark... the only thing you see is the blue LED when its lit at night other than that its hard to see.

the rear amp rak makes for a clean clean set up

yea i had 5% on my hatch, you could barely see the system even right up close.
Plus i didn't leave the car unattended really in bad ares, much.

i dont like the amp on the back deck, cause then the cover wont lay flat when you store your tops

gets in the way when storing T-Tops, and if the hatch were to ever leak, there would be a nice puddle for the amp to sit in.

Anti-rice Guy chose the only space available on the 'vert; like me. But ...oh where to put the Woofer- and still have room for the Top Boot bag??

This.

It's like 1" tall by like 15" wide, it doesn't make much of a difference in storage

The tops would be resting on it. Can you not mount it to the front or back portion of the trunk?

The woofer? That was the question

Oh no I was talking about the amp mounting on the bottom of the well.

They don't make something like this for verts? I'm not familiar with the trunks.

The t-tops fit like it was not even there.

But not sure what you mean by the cover wont close. Never was able to close the cover anyway with the ttops even before the amp rack.

+1 i feel like the amp rack and the stealthbox is the best choice without sacrificing space for the tops. im not looking to do anything crazy like two twelves just a 10"
