Under Front Seat??
Has anyone ever mounted an amp under the from seat of their truck before? I am using JL Slash 250/1 for my bass amp and didn't want to mount it behind the rear seat of my 2013 super cab.
If you have can you let me know where you put your ground?

Yes. This is generally where I mount amps in these trucks. I've never had one come back so it seems to be pretty safe. Couple things of note...
It's WAYYY easier to do that work with the seat out. Just take it out. It's four bolts and 1 plug. Just don't turn the key on while it's unplugged or you'll get an airbag light.
If you have the rear seat floor vents you will probably have to cut them, depending on the size of the amp. That one's pretty small so maybe not.
You can ground to the sheet metal between the front two bolt holes for the passenger seat under the carpet. It's hard to explain in text but theres an area thats pinch welded together with a brace that's thicker than the rest that will bite better. Just check and double check before poking holes. Also use dielectric grease to help prevent rust.
