...have you just pulled back the carpet to the left of the spare wheel?
I thought the amps would have to live under the seats, but would be much better if they could be stashed in there

Amps mounted on a bit of mdf and shoved in there. It's worth noting that the Alto Mobile amp is only 37mm high, which obviously helps. also note that both amps are class D so do not suffer from heat issues.
This is a good thread for "fuel tank" amp mounting... https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=398729

it might be worth finding out what impedance each speaker is.
if you wire them in parallel or series you can work out the total impedance and try and find an amp that has the correct impedance stability to match.
so an amp that is 400W and 4 channel could be stable down to 4 ohms
but wouldnt be as good as a 150W 2 channel amp at 1 ohm stable
usually the lower the impedance you can get the more power you'll get
