I know there is tons of advice on here about wich amp to get ... but it's all about power and stuff. I really like my boot space, so I am looking for a small amp that I want to power the 6*9s on the parcel shelf

I would screw it to the back of the rear seat inside the boot or, if there is one small enough, below the parcel shelf between the speakers.

Can anyone recommend a really small one?

I would say that, really amps should never be mounted more than about 90 degrees to vertical. Mounting upsidedown is a no go, and I think the rear firewall is too steep an angle. I'm trying to find one that will fit between the battery and the lip of the boot, to go under an MDF board.

Have it on a shelf under the rear 6x9,s

Make some brackets so that when you undoe it or whatever, it swings down and twards you, would look the dogs danglies!

Or maybe have it on runners like a keyboard thing on a computer desk? + think about wiring a fan up too, so it doesnt over heat..Because i dont imagine heat would circulate too well..

If your intelligent with electrics htough you could wire somthing that turns itself on after so many hours of use on the amp or have a heat sensor the casing so when it gets hot it turns on somthing liek that (Y) Would be ace.

Uh oh, I bought an amp from china on ebay and it was a waste of money. Didn't really work at all, just made the same volume sound, but more distorted.

cheers, but has been put on hold due to me having to buy a new DVD player for home, we had one of those all in one home theatre system thingys ... which gave up and we thought buying a proper separates system would be better ... swallowed the money I could have spend on an amp for the Mini though
