Some people mount in hanging upside down on the top of the trunk - not the best place because heat rises and the amp needs to cool.

I would say in the back left quarter panel, where the stock amp is located

+1 I am mounting my Amp as mentenion buy Mag75 and also per Bruce's DYI. Seems to be the most logical choice for a stealth installation.

this is the location that i put it in for my amp.. it is right that amp needs to cool but i have no problem with my amp mounting like that and i had this set up for about 2 years now.

back left quarter panel is good option too but hate to disconnect all wiring when you have to take that panel off... I put it in there so if i want to take my sub box out i can do that within 5 seconds.
