Extended cabs are tricky. Does your amp fit under either of your front seats?

Mine is under the front passenger seat. If you mount it there be sure to place forward enough so that big feet don't pull out your speaker wires. Or mount it sideways.

Mine is on the back wall of the cab under the back glass, but my truck is a crew cab.

Mine is on the back wall as well. I have always wanted to figure out a way to mound it underneath the cab. Like in a dry box or something. I love the sound but hate to lose the space for everything.

How big of an amp? (physical dimensions)
