Good morning everyone!!! The boat is out of storage and getting ready to start on the stereo install. I have a 2001 262, I will be running three amps for my upgrade and was thinking I would build an amp wall for the outside (hull) wall of the head. Climbed down there and noticed that there is foam and vinyl right on hull... I am at a stand still on locations. If anyone has pictures of their amp install on a 262 that would be wonderful.

My 2006 272 has everything located right in front of the helm in a large storage area. Amps and 2-10" Subs are easy hidden in there and nice and dry.

We have a 263 and mounted the amps under the rear bench seat.
You may be able to see some of the pics

I just did this over the weekend. Although my amp isn't large, it's one of the newer compact JL amps, paired to my 10" sub. You get the idea.
this is in front of the port side captains chair, or better yet described, behind the port side bow seat. 2014, 242.

Are your subs vented to the main seating area, or only firing into the storage area?

They are vented by ports in the wall of the helm. It's not the best or loudest setup but it works pretty well for what it is. Bass is just ok. The subs and box were the only 2 things I didn't replace when rebuilding my stereo.
