Amp Mounting Ideas Needed

I ordered a new amp for the truck. I bought a JL Audio HD900/5.

I'm trying to decide where to mount it. I'm trying to decide between:

1) Under the passenger side rear seat, which is where I had my 500/1

2) Behind the passenger side rear seat, on the rear wall, to get it up away from the floor and out of the way.

I like the idea of having it on the rear wall but have a couple of questions:

1) Whats the best way to mount it? I assume I would need to build an amp board of some sort, but whats the best way to fasten it to the wall?

2) Would the vent in the rear wall (passenger side) be a problem as far as moisture or anything like that? I actually already have the drivers side vent removed and covered with dyno mat, because it is required when installing the SPL2K box. Would there be a problem with both vents removed?

Any ideas, comments, suggestions, and/or pictures would be great.

Anybody?

I covered both vents in my truck not one problem and I did that part over 6 months ago. But I dont know about your amp on the back wall question. Mine are under the seat. Maybe send 907dave a pm. He has a really nice amp rack on the back wall.

Yeah I actually had looked at his:





Another member over on the ORG mounted his on the back of the seat itself:

I spaced the amp rack off the back wall about 1/2 inch. This allowed me to retain the vents (with minor trimming) and also gave me space to run all my wires behind it without any worry of them getting pinched.

I just screwed the rack right to the back wall using self tappers. I am sure there is a more eloquent way of doing it, but it seems to work fine.
