If you want it out of the way and don't use the rear glove box (locking compartment on the drivers side rear quarter) then you can remove the cardboard box that is behind that panel and create an amp rack in that space fairly easily.

I'll be happy to give you some guidance if that is a viable option for you...

Sure. If you have no spare, then go for it.

There is plenty of airspace back there, so ventillation shouldn't be a problem. That entire area is open all the way up to the doors and up through the sail panels, so don't worry about it overheating if you do that.

You could just make a board that screws down to the frame rail side and have a brace underneath to support it in the open area and mount the amp there. (horizontal between the well and quarter) Just use a good L-Bracket or the like to secure the brace to the bottom of the spare well and then screw the board to the brace.

Does that make sense? It's much easier for me to picture things than it is to describe them.
