Default Where to put amp

I need some good suggestions as to where to put an amp on my 2006 Heritage Softail. There's not enough room under the seat. The measurements for the amp are 4 1/2" long, 3" wide, 1 3/4" high. Thanks!

Get a right side tool box mount. Mount an old school rectangular tool box on the mount.

Mine, along with all those other electronics I thought would be fun, all went attached together, and stuffed in the saddlebags.

Well, I *am* using them. I cut a small board to fit the bags. I mounted several things to it, controller for the LED's, amp for the speakers, items for my Innovv camera system, fusebox, etc. I documented it here, but I realize, looking it over, forgot to include a picture of the other side of the board:
