Default Where the hell to mount a CD changer?

Ive got a 10 disc sony cd changer I want to put in my car but I cant find a good place to mount it. In the back under the trunk light is the best place I could think of but the seat hits it reclining. Any ideas?

In the right side storage compartment is a really good spot. It's made of foam so you can easily stick wires through it and it is quite large. I have my amplifier for my subwoofer in there right now.

You mean underneath the cargo thing in the back? I just wish there was a spot where it would be fairly easy to change out cd's...

Under the seat it wont let it slide all the way back. Its 3.5 inches fat.

Burn those 10 CD's onto a one or two MP3 cds. It would be a lot easier and cheaper than the 10 Disk Changer. Seeing the tC's come with a MP3 capable head unit, that would be my choice of action.

I'm thinking on the side under the light with velcro or something so I can still recline the seat. What a pain in the ___...
