Mine is tucked up under the dash where the warning label was. It's strapped down tight, and it gets good air flow as compared to under the seat.

i mount alot of amps on the roll cage above your head under the roof....keeps it out of the weather and depending on where u live and what kind of riding you do (water crossing) and when you wash it it keeps it from getting wet

a good place for an amp is in the trash because the more crap you add to a rhino the slower it is and the shorter the hill it will climb or dune for that matter....

Mine is mounted under the seat along with the separate battery. So far I've had no problems with anything. Just make sure it's a Marine grade Amp. I even sprayed it off when I got it muddy.

Almost directly behind the center of the dash under the hood. If you are looking at your rhino it is to the right of the battery.

Dead centre under the roll bar and the speakers on either side that way I never worry about the weather.I like to use my glove box for loose items and under the seat is always getting wet.Above your head is also just wasted space and perfect for the sound system

That looks like a duner tunes system you have there. Sam turns out some nice work and good sounding systems.

Yes it is a Dunertunes system. I've been really happy with it. Ran it a bunch last weekend at Gordons Well and never ran out of power with the extra battery

All 2 of my amps are under my Drivers seat. Been there for the last 3 years. No issues. I even have my capacitor under there as well.
