Haven't seen it but it could work depending on the amp's thermal situation.
Yes
Not sure if you have found your answer yet. I Put 2 precision Power amps inside the back set of my Honda Accord back in I think 1998 or 99. Seat was still functional, ran 2 fans, one push & one pull to keep air flowing. Attached is a couple of pics as it was coming together. The end caps hadn’t arrive yet in these pics.

Some of my favorite amps. Man could they dim a set of halogen headlights...
Side note, that had to be a heavy rear seat to fold up/down.

Yes it was heavy but damn it would catch peoples eyes as they walk by, glance in & almost all stopped to check it out. Such a fun build. I had a 200amp alternator & a 15 farad C.A.P that had just come out on the market but damn the PPI would suck up the power conversely it hammered those 10’s.
I remember seeing an install in an old CA&E. They put the amps in the backs of the back seats. It looked like the seats were "functional". I was always intrigued by that idea. Thought about doing it and trying to figure out how mount it all. It kind of seemed like the old monitor in the headrest-make some cuts, take out the foam and put a box for the amp in the back of the seat. Then I had kids.......
Further up in this thread I posted one of my builds that was in the August 2000 edition of Auto Sound & Security. At the time I had not seen it done.
