I have not competed in street stock before, and I have not heard of amp location restrictions. But then again the rules could have changed since I last checked. Look for the Termpro competition class matrix, if it does not say anything you should be good to go and warranted to slap the person to who told you the wrong info.

Hide your amps real well and say your running off of head unit power

i was looking at this last night too, and i remember it saying that amps could be mounted under the seats as long as that were entirely under them
