    Mine is under the drivers seat, different amp and a tight fit. Alpine 4 channel, forget the model no. but 75 watts per channel.

    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    If you amp runs particularly hot, then mounting it upside down can be an issue. Many are meant to radiate heat through the cooling fins. They are less effective when pointed down, due to heated air rising back around the amp.

    It's true, but it's not very common. Then of course, neither is mounting amps upside down. LOL
