Default Are there any exotic places to hide an amp?

For example, can the rear passenger seats be lifted up & out, possibly exposing a hidden compartment?

they can be but theres no real room depending on how big your amp is you could put it under the passenger seat or as i did i put a small compartment on the back of my enclosure that hides the amp and has a small amount of storage

Is the sound quality and volume of the bass worth the cost of the box?

the cons are its really hard to install and you have to drill a hole though the plastic and the outside of the car in the wheel well area to install

Why do you have to drill the hole? Is the bass worth the money for the box?

You drill a hole all the way though your new car to put a 3/8 bolt to mount it in place. The box has brass threads in the box very hard to line everything up just right.
I would not buy this if doc brown pull up and gave me a 2nd chance, but it was to late. Always looking for more bass out of it somehow, but i need the cargo space.

I put my 500w Alpine under the front passenger's seat and ran the cables under the carpeting back under the back seats and under the plastic cargo panels to my sub. you'd never know it was there.
