Storage bins behind seats = perfect place for amps?

Eats, Sleeps, Dreams Rotary
I have an amp in my driver's side bin... I didn't put it there, and I can't really tell the difference it makes in audio, since it's only powering the rear speakers (one of them is blown I think), and it takes up the whole damn bin, since it's mounted on a board that's way too high up...
I suppose it would be better if it it was just powering a single subwoofer instead of two tweeters, but I don't have a sub, don't need one, and can't afford one, either.
Personally I prefer to use the storage bins for...storage :P

Dont mean to hijack. I got a basic set up. 1 12" sub, w/ a 500watt amp; nothing else... no capaciter. Ok,well the setup,being basic, worked ok (well at least ok for me...how much bass do you need in a rx7) in my last rex. But in this one, everytime I try and turn the amperage up I get alot of feed back. It sounds like the sub is just going crazy and is constantly humming and when the music starts it hits continuously. Like whom, whom, whom, whom in the backround while the music is playing. I check all of my connections. My friend said that it could be because I'm not running a big enough ground wire for my amp and others told me its because I dont have a capacitor and thats just a variance in voltage affecting the sound. Which is right, or are they both right. Thanks, because I try, but I suck with electronics.

i have an amp right behing the drvier seat and the wall right before the hatch space. and imo i think subs would be better in the way back. dont 7s have woofers in the door speakers?
might behard to figure out but to the right is where the driver side door is and left is center console

the sexy BRAAAAAAAP of even just my N/A beater is music to MY ears....and the TII, well its just nut busting sexifiedly sounding....

Thats exactly what I am talking about there... so fresh and so clean clean...
lol
And I am sure if you just drop a sub into the bins without a box for them to be enclosed in then YES it would sound like ***... its a plastic bin which would do nothing but rattle... Thats why you use 3/4 MDF for enclosure....
Jeffforsale obviously has no idea how bass works and the whole point of a system hidden and enclosed is for you to hear not for everyone around you to know you have and want to steal from you...

I have amps in both of mine. They are fine in winter, but on hot summer days they get a little hot for my liking. I drilled a small hole in the guide metle and it holds them up about an inch for air flow. This is only when i really have the power up though.
