If you're installing an amp (or amps) in your mazdaspeed 6, I recommend checking to see if it will fit between the back of the rear seat and the extra brace the mazdaspeed has between the seat and the trunk.
(You will have to remove the rear panel of the trunk liner at least for the installation)
I just installed one of my Alpine V-12's yesterday and it fit perfectly in that space. I used 1/2" MDF as a mounting board. If you pull back on the edge of the fabric covering the back of the seat, you will see several holes in the seats metal frame. I used anchor screws to attach the mounting board to these holes, then with the seat folded back up I positioned the amp through the trunk and marked the mounting holes. The mount seems sturdy enough, but I padded the brace with foam packing sheet just in case.
Now I can still fold down the seats and use the pass-through, or I could reinstall the trunk liner and there would be no visible signs anywhere of an aftermarket amp.
