I built my own box and wanted a completely stealth install - so both of my amps fit inside the enclosure and the only thing you see when the trunk is open is a false back wall covered in felt, with a sub and port. This probably wont help you much since you bought an enclosure

I dont believe in fix a flat. Im trying to see if i can mount it upside down. where the stock sub should be... looks like a project.

This is how my set up will be but obviously it wouldn't work with the Zenclosures box.

mounting an amp upside down doesn't allow the amp to cool properly.
If you have a smaller amp you are usually ok but most sub amps get hot

@blaze if always heard that was no longer true with newer amps. Not sure honestly but i was considering mounting it upside down under the shelf still may.

^ all amps get hot. That's why they have heatsink-like properties, such as fins integrated into the casing.
