Can it fit around the corner of the seat, 90* from where it was, between the seat and door, or would that require a smaller bottle?

Maglites are too large and are too strongly associated with cops.
More nice work.
2 questions:
1) I see the particle board spacer but it looks like you potentially have metal in continuity from the amp housings to the tub via the screws? If so, any feedback? I did that with my amp and powered sub in the same location. The sub power was way down and I had with feedback that varied with engine RPM. Using nylon screws and rubber grommets solved those issues for me.
2) Why 2 amps? I'm thinking one for woofers and tweeters and 1 for a sub?
edit. 1 more question: Why did the highlines require amps to move from under the column?
1. That was a nice piece of MDO marine plywood. It isn't part of the underseat mounting.
2. This is what I came up with 9 years ago. I don't remember much of what little I knew about car audio at that time.
edit. Everything is affected by a highline install. And it doesn't always make sense!
The real reason is because the highline led to a complete reworking of the added accessory electrical system. During that process, I accidentally ripped out the ground for the sub amp. It's location under the steering column made getting to it impossible without removing it. Since the amps were removed and I didn't want to figure out how I got them in there, I decided to put them in a better spot.
I get it. If I’m going into a fight with my Streamlight, I’m pretty much getting my ass kicked….
Yeah I'm no expert on audio either. I did get some good help from folks here and some trial and error like my grounding problem. Sounds like your amps are better isolated within their housings than my components

Have you considered wearing a skirt? I hear people will leave you alone if you do.
I imagine a highline skirt would get me all kinds of attention.
@jjvw, I used to have my amp under my driver seat, until, one day, crossing the river in the Rubicon Springs (very deep that year), water came up over door sill and blew out my amp. I have since moved it under the steering wheel column. Not sure how much water crossings you do in CO, but just be mindful...
