Amp mounting

I know this is more audio related but that section isn't very active. I am about install my new stereo and I want to locate my two amps behind the right rear panel but I can't figure how to mount them there, any ideas?

With a runner there are too many places. I used the storage area under my drivers side back seat due to ease of install and lack of a better place in my ever so small pickup. You can always just go with the good old fashion screwing them into the sides of your sub box. Or even put then on a carpeted piece of plywood and bolt that up anywhere you think it looks good. Just make sure they are mounted securly if you plan on wheeling, good fire hazard if a wire comes loose, or you could fry your amp if they cross terminals.

Moving your post too, as that is why we have the audio section, and it does get checked out via the "View new posts" feature

I really want to mount them behind the right rear panel, wanna keep it looking as stock as possible, partially for security. I was wondering how to mount them behind the panel since theres just the empty hole there.

Make a shallow box out of MDF and flat plate it to the flange below the side window and the flange that comes up from the cargo floor. You could even paint the MDF, carpet it, cover it with vinyl, etc.

It would probably help if you pulled the plastic side panel to make sure you have enough depth for the equipment you have. You'll see what I'm referring to when you pull this panel.
