2020 White TRD Off Road Double Cab

Taco noob here. Just bought a new 2020 off-road double cab and am looking to do an audio upgrade. Part of this upgrade includes adding a 5 channel amp. Looks like the two most common install locations for the amp are in the storage compartment behind the back passenger seat or under one of the front seats:

Any comments from people who have installed in either location wishing they hadn't? Also any tips on mounting boards/amp racks? looking at using a taco tunes amp rack, but not sure if there are any other options out there.

Thanks!
