Hello, one last question. Can I mount my amp on the sidewall of the battery compartment? I am not educated enough on these boats to how thick the area is behind there or if that is just a plain stupid idea. I could just mount it to the floor in that area if I have to. See picture

That side wall is pretty thin there.....hopefully you mounted it to a board? Photos?
I didn't mount it to anything yet, it's just sitting there. Wasn't going to screw a hole thru the side of my boat...lol. think I'll just lay it flat on the floor for piece of mind. All I have in there is a fire extinguisher, 2 batteries and and amp now. Not going to use the compartment for anything but that. There is a picture in the first post you can see, thanks for always replying, I surely appreciate it

Mine is mounted in the port helm, on the opposite side of the port bow cushion. Lots of room to keep wiring and everything tidy.

This is in my battery compartment, all the wires already ran and the most convenient place for me.

Many people just take a white cutting board and mount them to that. Allows you to secure the wires and gives some weight to the amp itself to move around less - and also gets it off the carpet that might restrict air flow some.

Better pic, it's not mounted yet. Just sitting there
You can also consider velcro strips to hold it or a mounting board to the carpet. It keeps it from sliding around.

I just screwed it into the floor with some short self tappers and said fuck it
