Amp Mounting?

For those that mounted an aftermarket amp to the back of the rear seats what kind of screws did you use? wood, or sheet metal, or something else? And is it holding on pretty solid? I noticed that the back of the rear seats seems like it is a plastic behind the carpet and did not know if it would hold up well.

it is plastic... use a screw with deep threads and it should be fine

So the amp should be pretty secure using the screws that came with it. I just wanted to check what everyone one else was using.
Thanks everyone, I will use the screws that came with the amp.
