How to mount amp on back of sedan's rear seats?
Unlike the coupe, the sedan's rear seat does not fold down. This is creating a bit of an issue for mounting an amp to the back of the seats because there are few places that will accept screws to hold the amp in place.
Should I get some MDF board, attach it to the metal, then affix amp to the MDF? If so, would 5/8" MDF work?
Any other ideas?
Here a pic of the back of rear seats without dressing.

Is there a place you can mount it on the roof of the trunk? Like under the rear deck? If not your idea sounds pretty good. I bet you coudl get away with using 1/4-1/2" MDF. If it's too thick it'll take up too much space.
I'm not familiar with the sedan but is that a hole to the cabin like a ski storage type thing? If so you'll probably want to cut the MDF out with a hole or in halves so you can still use that hole.

the metal cross braces are a great place to mount first a MDF board to, and then, biuld an amp rack...ust make sure you get it secured with a good number of screws or bolts.
i did one a while ago that was just very simple and straighfoward:

I mounted two decent sized amps, distro blocks, and a Cap using MDF that I carpeted by screwing the MDF into the metal cross braces on the back seat. You have to remove the back seat and get some decent sized sheet rock screws and screw in from the trunk into the back seat area and then just cut-off the excess of the screws sticking out intot he seat area. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow and maybe get some dimensions. I used 3M spray clue and a staple gun for the carpeting of the MDF. Pain in the butt for a new guy like me, but looks good (except for the carpet f-up by the ski pass-through) and very secure.
