I want to mount my amp to the back wall behind my driver seat. Isnt that just steel underneath the carpet? Any suggestions on what to do?

glue a board to the back wall, then mount the amp to the board. No screws through the back wall that way.

^^+1 if you dont want screws through the back wall, make sure to use some REALLY strong glue. but if you don't mind screws and don't want to run the chance of it falling off then it is nothing but steel back there. What I have found helps keep carpet and jute from wrapping around the screws is to put your drill in reverse and press into the wall and let her rip. Then you can go forward and it will go right through the steel and hopefully not wrap any carpet or jute up in the screw. If you do wrap the screw up it can be a booger getting the screw back out and you might as well throw it in the trash.

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
I've never been a fan of simply gluing a piece of wood to a piece of metal. I'm usually running fairly large amps (read: heavy & expensive) and I wouldn't trust whatever glue/epoxy was holding that together. Glue fails, wood hits cab floor, wire comes loose, grounds out on amp, fries amp. Then you gotta pull the seat, replace the amp, etc. PITA. I'd rather put a couple pieces of dynamat behind the wood, put my screws through the dynamat, then screw my amps to the wood. Much safer IMHO.

just toss it under the passenger seat. i put some velco on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. the bottom of the seat frame sets right against it. i put some foam tape there.
