Sedan guys, where are you putting your amps? There's no support on the back seat so mine is just sitting on the floor.

Mine was mounted on my rear seat. It looks pretty nice imo. This was before I got my 4080 sub box

take out your spare and put it there if you have 19" wheels. Or if you have a big brake kit then it really won't matter... so take that puppy out!

I built a false floor and put in two JL amps (450/4 and 500/1) I put in some plexi, neons, and fans, and it looks rather nice. NO loss of trunk area, but obviously it is not as deep. I was also able to keep the spare in there and still be able to access it. I will have pics sometime soon.

Not yet. At least not of the completed trunk. I will see what I can get and put some up as soon as I get a chance.

If you look carefully at the photo, you will see that each amp is mounted to a 1/2" MDF board, (painted flat black). I used recessed threaded things with spikes (not sure what these are called, but a standard hardware store item) on the backside to receive the screws that hold the amp to the boards. Although there was nothing but carpet in the spots where the amp mounting holes were, there IS some steel back there, and that's where the holes were drilled through the boards to mount them to the front trunk panel. The amps are pretty heavy, and this is a very secure mounting.
