Kfr01’s input was Hifonics before Phoenix Gold.

Like I said, Hifonics generally makes decent gear but I do not know this particular amp.  Buy whichever one you like the most and can afford.

Under the rear deck?  You mean under the parcel shelf?  Just don't mount it upside down.

Because all the electricity will fall out.  Just kidding.  Choosing Amps? - Page 4 -- posted image.  The truth is that amps will not cool properly and can burn up (indeed, can start fires) or at the very least have early failure due to overheating if mounted upside down.  Almost any owner's manual will tell you this, and it is important.

Manual? What man reads a manual?
So best bet would to mount it right side up with support rods.
Currently I have my Lanzar mounted upside down to the deck ... nicely hidden, can’t see anything unless your actually in the trunk.

Yes, or build a shelf below the rear deck to mount it to.  You may want to add a fan for any high-power amp.

Where is that smart arse icon when you need it, "the electricity will fall out", I have not heard that one in years.... If you still have the link to that amp, send it to me please, I might just need to buy that Eclipse amp.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Well I would like to thank all for your help. I have no upgraded my speakers to Polk db6750 and have upgraded my amp to Eclipse PA5532.
Next I will be working on the box and subs. I have been tossing over subs and I will have to wait until I have my box built to know how much air space I will have to see what I can fit. The spare well is decently sized, big enough to fit 3 12’s but have been tossing up 2 8’s, figured less air space.
