The amp should be as close to the antenna as reasonable.How far should an amp in a modern vehicle that has a ECM be?
Is there a general rule? or does it depend on the power of the amp? (100 watts)
Newb to all this so i ask here...

No one can tell you with a doubt if it will affect the ecm but you have to use common sense when dealing with rf.And not worry about the ECM?
Like i said.. I am new to all of this.. Thanks for the reply...
Yes, I did a personal install on a late model IHC truck, I mean I did a real nice proper install and the minute I went over 500 watts pep I would loose cruise control function, the tachometer would go wacko which would explain the cruise function error and even adding ferrites and other choking devices there was no help at all so I resided myself to the fact that the filtering on the ecm board was not up to grade and I uninstalled the setup.I doubt 100 watts will cause you much grief, if any. But, different vehicles react differently to RF. The best thing to do is to a proper installation and try it...you'll know right away if there's going to be a problem.
Thanks for the info.Guess i'll just hook it up and find out.
