Post Your systems
Maybe you could look at finding something that would fit underneath the front seats.
My system:
Alpine 9856 HU w/ High-speed Ipod cable
Infinity BassLink
Stock speakers

Seems like all of the current amps are huge and made extra large to look impressive, I would like something that I could stash like you did.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I've got the new PDX amps (PDX-1.1000 & PDX-4.150), and they fit nicely under the front seats along with my 0ga.-4ga. power and ground distribution blocks. There was even room on top of my PDX-4.150 to mount my Alpine PXA-H701 processor. Since the Alpine PDX amps are made to be stackable (no they won't BOTH fit under a single seat stacked), I just made some aluminum rails that bolt right onto the top of one of the amps, and mounted the PXA-H701 on top. It worked out sweet, and the system does not consume any trunk space except for the sub. Mounting the amps under the seats also saved me from having to run that heavy *** 0ga. wire all the way to the trunk, so that's a winner too. Makes for a fairly light setup for the amount of power it has. SQ is excellent as well.
Here my system list:
HU: Alpine IVA-D100
EQ/Crossover/Processor: Alpine PXA-H701
Front/Rear Amp: Alpine PDX-4.150
Sub Amp: Alpine PDX-1.1000
Fronts: Alpine SPX-177R
Rears: Alpine SPR-17LP
Sub: (1) L7 in ported enclosure (replacing with Alpine X 12" in custom box soon)
Bluetooth: Alpine KCA-100BT
Apple iPod Video
0ga. power lead w/ 4ga. to each amp from dist.
I'm not usually a one-brand fanboi, but Alpine has a fairly strong line this year, and I figured what the hell, go all Alpine this time.
Here's a pic of the custom aluminum tweeter mount I made, taken through the front windshield (sorry for the glare):

The type X alpine ring tweeter is SMOOTH, and small enough to fit in the back of the A-pillar tweeter grill and still be aimed well.
More pics to come later if there is interest.

Here's a few pics of the passenger side of the car with the PDX-4.150 amp.
Here's the amp mounted with nothing on top:

Here's the aluminum mounting rails I made prior to drilling:

Crossovers still accessible from the back of the seat:

Here's the rails mounted on the amp:

Here's with everything connected:

Lots of stuff, but it all fits under the seats and actually has plenty of free air around everything. Nice to have 1700 watts under your ***, not have to take up trunk space for amps, and have a decent light-weight setup for the wattage.

Both amps are grounded to the same location under the arm-rest, within 18 inches of the 1.1000 and within 24 inches of the 4.150. I assure you, it is not too long. I use a Fluke 187 meter to ensure I have good continuity to both ground and power sources. Don't let some of the pics fool you. I modified the ground to be shorter before I tied everything up. On top of that, you're only looking at the 4.150, not the 1.1000, which has a VERY direct path to ground.
