Is there an ideal place to stick the e-manage box?

Its physically larger than I thought it was. I was going to bolt it to the back of the glove box but I think its too big. I know a lot of you guys stick em under the seat, do any of you worry about dirt or **** getting into the box under there (dirty shoes, etc)? I just want to make sure its completely out of view. I had thoughts of mounting it under the center console between the shifter and e-brake, but then the box is pretty inaccessible if you need to work on it and I'm not sure if it'll fit there either.
Range limit from the ECU is about 2 or so feet... thats the length of Dezod's harness.

red_sun is on a distinguished road
I put it in the space under the steering wheel. I velcroed it in so it wouldn’t slide around but when I need to tune it's easy to pull it out. I don’t know if you have enough wire to reach there but if it does its easy to access and it's protected from dirt, water.

^ i thought about that, but it makes it harder to see the indicator lights. I screwed it down to the floor directly under the seat. Sliding the seat forward all the way only exposes half of the unit. I think it's pretty accessible and still practically invisible.

I'll figure something out. How much cooling does it need?
