What 4 ch amps will fit under passanger seat?

I need to fit an amp in the space where a GPS unit would go under the passanger seat in my 2005 MCS. I know that the Alpines 100.4 will fit , but they are pricey - even on Craigslist.
I've read in other post that the space is about 10 x 16.5 and from 1.5 to 2.75" deep.

I really like to know what others have fit in there - before I buy something...

Thanks!

PS: I don't want to put anything else in the boot. I've already built in a fake floor with a JL TW5 with an amp.

MCC - Satellite addition

Hi, Just bought a 2009 BRGreen Justa with the stock (non HK) radio. I have the bluetooth and Ipod hookup. However, I would like to add XM. I have checked the internet and it there does seem to be an adapter kit.

Has anyone added satellite radio? Is there a secret handshake or something? Can this be added by the dealer? Will I have to use a portable unit to get XM?

Thanks in advance - I know you guys will know.

Dennis

Couple of options that should work

You could also use a Genesis Profile 4, though they are pricey.

The new JL HD 900 will fit and it is a very nice amp. Shop around and you will not pay retail of $900.00. I got mine from an JL authorized retailer on lime and paid $600.00 and for 600.00 you get free shipping. lol

You can see all the secs on this amp here:

4X 100w + 500w sub output all in one small amp.

I have one hooked up to a Alpine iDA-X305, 10 inch JL 10 w3 and Focal K2's and and LOVE it.

Thanks,

A JL amp would be my first choice, as they seem indestructible and last forever. However, right now I'm pinching pennies and doing all my shopping on Craigslist.
I'm beginning to think that the price preimum for small size may not be my most cost effective route. I'm reconsidering mounting a traditional size amp on the back of the back seat. I'm not sure how it is done, but I bet there is a thread around here somewhere with directions. Thanks !
