Is there any good place to stick an amp?

Car is a 2002 Z28. I'm running a good size amplifier, an Alpine MRV-F450 17" x 11" x 2.5" Is there some place I may be overlooking? I have a CD changer but it wouldn't fit there any way and I'm not willing to give up my spare because I travel. Suggestions? The only place I can see is against the rear wall of the t-top cargo compartment but I was hoping for 100% stealth. I'm probably out of luck but just in case I'm overlooking something I thought I would ask. Thanks.

i dont know about the 4th gens, but in my car, which is a 3rd gen, the amp is mounted in the rear storage compartment on the opposite side of the spare.

you might want to install it in the trunk on the side of the gas tank, flush againts the panel facing the gas tank. I think there's enough room there for the amp and the ttop to fit at the same time.

I've got 5% on my rear window..... so both of my amps which are LARGE are mounted on custom brackets on the deck. You can see just a slight shimmer of the one chrome amp when the sun is shining directly on the hatch, otherwise it's invisible.

Plus they're all mounted with Tamper-Proof Torx bits.... so whoever wants to remove them is going to have a really really really fun time...
