I just installed two Alpine MRV-F345's in the rear side panels, where the rear speakers are in the back seats. I've done the same for Moriarty and Damon and I put one back there in Wolo's car too. It's a great place to put them. There's a ton of room back there, plus it's totally stealth.
I also have a MRD-M605 installed in the storage compartment next to the spare tire. It's a tight squeeze and is sealed off with almost zero airflow, so not my first choice. It would prolly send the amp into thermal protection pretty quickly, causing it to shut down until it cooled off enough. I won't have that problem using the Alpine mono block. It has a thermal management system that eliminates the amps from shutting down. Instead, it reduces output power until it cools down, but the amp will continue to play. Plus they are fan cooled. You could cut a couple of holes in the foam and install some fans under there for better cooling.
I'm just finishing up the install for a show I have today. I'll get pics and post them this weekend. Hope this helps for finding alternative monting locations on your amps. Let us know how the install goes.
