Retail is $599 from what lady said at JL, but I bet Crutchfield will have around $400ish in a few weeks

I get my new jl amp in this week and I think I'm going to put in the rear storage spot. Only down side is the heating issues.

Crutchfield actually has a sale on stealthboxes. 10% off all stealthboxes. I might have to take up that offer

I mounted 2 stackable Alpine Marine amps under the passenger seat. I had to modify the seat rail a bit to get both to fit. One amp will fit there without a problem. The closer you have the amp to the battery the better.

In case you didn't see this, I created a video about a year ago demoing my sound system. I have a JL Sub. Every door was closed on my JK except for the passenger door.

I've seen some folks put the amps in the rear storage bin. I know two Alpine amps will fit there no problem. You just have to make stand-off legs that will level them out. The bottom of the bin is rounded on the edges. I didn't like having the amps so far from the battery, which is why I mounted them under the seat. Huge power lines has to be run to keep voltage drop to a minimum.
