You're trying to mount it in the glove box? Why not mount it in the factory sub location behind the driver's seat? You will need to build an amp rack either way.

+2. If you're not looking to show your amp(s) off to the world, that really is the BEST place to keep it.

If you don't really know what you're doing, I suggest you have an audio shop do it for you.

I plan on using my glove box and stacking two amps. I will try and explain how I will make one.

I will lay the larger amp on the bottom and seperate them by a piece of wood on each side. Cut two pieces of wood 18"L x 3.5"W. Cut out a hole on each piece big enough to slide the bottom amp in on each side. The position of the two pieces should align with the screw points of the top amp. The wood pieces will be screwed down to the car with some type of L bracket.

Simple, cheap and effective. You can go so far to paint it or wrap it in vinyl for a cleaner look.

I have a non bose system on my z, so the drivers side is just the panel. If i stick an amp (alpine pdx 4X150) in the compartment and close it with the panel, will it be a problem with the amp and heat?

I took the glove box out, and took the two halves apart. Then I went to hardware store and bough flat metal pieces, cut them to size and painted them black. I cut some slits in the glove box for heat dissipation and put a fan behind them both. Then I put everything back together with some glue to hold the halves together and put the box back in. Pain in the ass to do, but it works.
