New to the forum so I thought I'd throw this up for anyone interested. I hunt a lot, so running my amplifiers below seats or anything wasn't desirable incase a cooler leaked. Just took a panel of Plywood, put some felt on one end and used it to wedge the front edge between the hard top and the top part of the soundbar, the rear part I put 2 slits on either side and attached to the rear roll bar with some 300# rated straps. All the wiring runs the roll cage and drops in through the top. Might go back and clean it up as I poorly estimated the amount of space the 4 gauge wire was going to take up. The stray wire is from my sub, since I'm going to build a new box once the price of lumber doesn't require me to donate a kidney, then there's going to be an overlay panel that'll trace the soundbar so you won't even know the amps are mounted there.
Figured I'd throw it up incase it gave anyone else ideas.
Ok THIS is cool. I could never stomach the idea of amps on the floor because my floor tends to get full of water and mud.. Way to think outside the box!
Yeah that and if anything leaked; I don't have storage to take the hard top off and I also don't trust people in Portland with a soft top, so I'm not concerned with anything getting wet via the roof. I also didn't want to take space away from the bottom for coolers, gear, etc. while hunting.
Another angle so you can see it a bit better from driver's seat:
