Default Where is everyone putting their amps?

I'm finally upgrading the stereo in my 2011 Jeep JK. I got the Alpline MRV F300 4 channel amp and wanted to see where people are mounting their aftermarket amps. The logical choice is under the front seats I would assume but I've already have a lock box under one and the Kicker Hideaway Sub is going under the passenger seat. The only other place I can see that is feasible may be the small compartment under the rear hatch that flips up. Anyone else have any better spots that they are using?

Thanks.

What is the dimensions size on that amp? I was able to put a hertz 4 channel amp under my steering column where the stock infinity amp was located and it was decent size. I think it was 12" l x 9 "w x 2"h. I put a jl audio amp for my subs in behind/between the glove compartment and it's 8"x8"x2"!! All stealth!!

Also just upgraded my 2011. The amp was placed behind the glove box.

I had mine under the driver seat but later relocated it to on top of my tuffy overhead console.

I have an alpine pdx 5 and I put it in the back of my jeep under the cargo area compartment. Where the jack is. It's nice cause it stays dry and is out of sight.

Great idea going behind the glove box. I didn't even think about putting it there. I think it will fit and be out of sight. It's about 8x8".

I have one under a seat using this: I have one of these under my passenger seat. Makes things easy. Well worth the $ Jeep Wrangler JK JKU Under Seat Bracket (with mounting options)

and one under the steering column.
