Where to mount an amp in the 5?

[brew]

So where have people been putting them. Is under the 3rd row an option?Seein as how the seats fold flat, is there enough room there. Or under the front seats? Was wondering if being under the fronts was okay, seeing as how the little heating vents are under there. Any help and/or pics would be appreciated.

I recently got a Mazda5. I have been thinking about putting my amp under the front passenger seat. My amp is very small and should fit okay, though I haven't actually tried fitting it under there yet. Have you found a good spot to run the power wire through the fire wall? I briefly looked and didn't see any good unused grommets.

Unfortunately those little under seat storage areas are already spoken for. My son uses them to store his stuff.

I have heard that there is a good spot on the pass. side. Have not got that far yet, though.

There is very little room under the front seats. I looked there. (at least on the '10 model)

I'm looking at a place behind the spare tire under the back deck. I'll (or anyone else in this location) will have to watch heat.
Are you looking at a 4 channel or a mono?

Mine is in the glove compartment, mounted where the factory navigation ROM drive would sit.

I'm looking at either a 4 or 5 channel. Physical size is going to be a major deciding factor. Do not want a huge amp, 50 to 75 watts per channel. Redoing the whole electrical system is not something I want to do.

Pics on that?
