mounting an amp upside down is a no-no //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif that amp will overheat.

ya, just screw it into the back of the rearseats...and if you have fold down seats...you can pull it down to show it off from time to time

Not really an option, i need to mount to the rear deck, by speakers.

well if you mount them upside down, the heat that gets realesed by the amp will just rise back up into the amp, and the amp will never be able to cool then your amp will always go into protection or burn up.

try mounting it on top? under the cardboard covered with carpet...my grand am has enough space under the cardboard to mount a decent sized amp, but Id have to cut holes to allow air to circulate or it would overheat sitting in there

you could also try building an amp rack that attaches to the rear deck where the amp aren't upside down, and you can mount fans to let the amps cool.

Wood and some threaded rod will do the job.
