79 and 80 had the "dead space" you are refering to, while 81-85 had storage bins in that location. Japan and Austrailian versions had optional rear seats.
Placing an amp inside that area would be ok, if the amp doesn't need much air for cooling. Rather than cutting up the metal that is there, you could go hunting at a salvage yard, and see if you can find one that had the storage bins. Use those peices to cut up. Or just make your own.

Ive heard of people removing the storage bins and making their own sub boxes and amps and ****. Becuase I want to leave my spare tire in my car.
I was wondering if any one on the board has some pictures of that they can post?

I have an SA, and put an ADS PowerPlate 100 (old school) amp in the passenger's side, and put ADS speakers in the metal cover over the dead space. It works ok, and sounds pretty good, but not the best. The amp kicks out on really hot days because of the lack of air flow.

I'm doing pretty much the same thing with mine, except I'm using a single 10", and it's going to fire down towards the floor so I can make it totally invisible.

Take out the spare and chunk it and get road side asst. on your cell .Get yourself a AudioBahn DCV 12", raise the floor 4 inch's and drop the bugger in. I use Audiobahn 
cuz I like the way they hit and you only need .5 cubit feet for the box. plus when you clover it up with the back carpet no one can see it.
