I had mine where the back of the back seat went, centered it and had a cap on the trans tunnel then the 2 boxes were on top of the rear deck area. I also used to have the amp inbetween the subs up there too.

gets in the way when storing T-Tops, and if the hatch were to ever leak, there would be a nice puddle for the amp to sit in.

It's like 1" tall by like 15" wide, it doesn't make much of a difference in storage

The tops would be resting on it. Can you not mount it to the front or back portion of the trunk?

Oh no I was talking about the amp mounting on the bottom of the well.
They don't make something like this for verts? I'm not familiar with the trunks.

The t-tops fit like it was not even there.
But not sure what you mean by the cover wont close. Never was able to close the cover anyway with the ttops even before the amp rack.
