if you mount them under your back seats, they'll drag the ground.

If you mount them behind the back seats, they'll be in the gas tank.

The big giant well behind the gas tank in the back of your car is a pretty obvious spot, and happens to work very well. You can build a box to tuck down inside of that well.

Whenever you see a link from Geocities---- right click the link, copy shortcut, then open another browser window, and paste the shortcut into the address bar, then click go or press enter.
Geocities is funny like that.
