Thanks for the info in fitment, the amp is only 2" high. i didn't intend to start an argument either, i just wanted to point out hat though it may not be ideal, it isn't always a problem. I never had an amplifier in more than 15 years fail because of vibration related causes, but i realize it can be a problem, maybe i should have phrased some things different. Anyway thanks for the information on the location I'll post some pictures if I decide to mount my amp under there. I will probably have to address the heat issue with over 1200 watts available in the small area. The amplifer was installed in the sportage before, but I needed the room for my current job. I suppose now it is time to get creative with ideas for a new sub enclosure.
