Amp location ideas?

[ChefChristian]

So I want to rebuild the sound system in my 05 Tj. My dilemma is I cant commit to a location for the amp. My rig spends a lot of time with the top off in the desert or at the lake. I take the back seat out often and have my 2 large dogs in the back - so under the seat or in the tub isn't the most ideal. I'm thinking the sides of the front passenger area but not sure. I'm going to need 5+ channels but I'm ok with 2 smaller amps being used. Still a rookie with this stuff so looking for some expert thoughts

I mounted this little guy just in front of my console on the driver side with one self tapping screw

Put my 5 channel under steering column as well

They make amps small enough to go many places. I do like the steering column idea.

Another vote for the steering column. Though, mine is ziptied into place. I need to redo it. The bigger issue is trying to find a place for a sub (if you dont have a center console one to reuse).

I installed mine in the glove box.

This is my issue at the moment. I had a great box (tuning wise) that didn't fit behind the rear seat when I was forced to put my rear seat back in. I never had a center sub in my Jeep and my sub is an Alpine 10" S series (too deep anyhow). I got a double 10" box off ebay that I quite dislike as well for a number of reasons. First is it takes up all of the room behind the seat. I am thinking of cutting it in half to make it a single 10" box, but that wasn't an option at the time. Second is the truck bed liner squeaks like mad against the rear window and door.

I have that little Kicker 200.1 amp on the passenger side firewall below the glovebox. Then ran the speakers off the deck. Not much room for another amp or a bigger one under there.

Trying to do the same, how did you mount it to the firewall?

I used some 3m double faced tape for outdoors. Don’t remember where I got it.
