Where to hide amp in FD
What's all the options on this? I'm installing an eclipse ea2000 amp and don't want it to be seen at all. It's not very large http://www.eclipse-web.com/amp/ea2000.html
I've heard of the spare tire well and possibly under one of the storage bins but is there even any room there? Pics would be greatly appreciated of these types of setups or suggested mounting positions. Thanks in advance

Well, i've decided to build a rack to hold the amplifier between the trunk/hatch area and the plastic divider behind the storage bins. It's going to be as thin as possible as to not use up any excess trunk space and should be completely unnoticed when the plastic divider is in place. I ran out of time today but hope to get it together and carpeted next weekend. Some pics of my progress are attached.
This one shows how much space it's going to take up at the widest point. I still have to cut the corners to match the drawing below.
This is a crude top view drawing of the design.
What do you guys think of this?

Pics of my progress so far.
Just to fill you guys in on what's going on here, i'm installing a 6 disc indash bose unit out of a miata with the speaker (bose amp) signal wires being converted and ran to the eclipse amp via rca's which will be pushing eclipse speakers in all factory locations. Hence the reason i want to allow the amp to be hidden so that it has an updated factory look with no signs of aftermarket. I'm know i'm slow but hopefully it'll be completely finished by tomorrow, time permitting. Please excuse the mess in the shop. It looks like 10 lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag right about now...
