Default Trunk interior

I am in the process of Cutting a new trunk floor from 3/4 plywood and carpeting it to replace the factory trunk insert and plan on screwing it to the trunk floor. The amp will be mounted in front of the sub box which will be bracketed to the floor to prevent it from moving around with holes drilled for the amp wires and covered up by the end caps of the amp. My question is...... where is the gas tank? Id hate to accidentally drill right into it. Thanks in advance to the usual people.

You shouldn't hit the tank if you accidentally screw into the floor. When I did my plywood trunk thing, I made L brackets out of oak trim (won't split) and ground off the rest with a grinder. I used 1/4" plywood, if you go 3/4" I'd use countersunk bolts coming up and nylon locknuts.

I goofed. It was 1/4" and I ended up using sheet metal screws with the little lock things on the underside. Now i Just have to get some carpet.
