I'm adding a new amp to my 03 986. I have removed the old amp and CD changer and the new amp will go where the CD changer used to be.

I first intended to use the CD changer bracket but I do not feel it is up to the task of supporting the much heavier amp.

So I am now looking at mounting it directly to the bulkhead/firewall with an MDF mounting plate in between.

Question is how to affix the mounting plate to the bulkhead. Is it safe to screw it directly to the metal, or is there anything behind the CD changer location that can be damaged? Where exactly is the gas tank?
