One more G install for ya :) WHERE are the amps???

Just finished another G35, this time a Black 06 Coupe.

starting off, a Pioneer 6800 DVD 6 disc double din dvd changer with 7" screen was installed via the double din finisher. the stock nav is retained. A switch below the steering column activates the bypass...and stock nav voice output is routed to the stock door speakers, as you will see that the new front stage is not in the doors at all





front stage consists of a set of DLS ultimate UP6 6.5" component set in custom fabricated off axis kick panels lined in sude. as mentioned before, the combination of DLS speakers and the G's interior makes for a great image and staging. sound appears to come from eye level, and is well centered near the clock.









powering the system is a DLS refernece series RA40, bridged to provide each front channel wtih over 150 watts, and a jl audio 500/1 powering a 4080 box mounted 10w6v2..here is the sub



now at this point, i would like to invite you to guess where the amps are

lets see, are they under the floor in the trunk?



nope

below the seats?



no way, not enough room anyway to fit two decent size amps with the powered seat mechanism...

so...anyway wanna take a guess as to where the amps are?

i will post pics of them later on hahaha i am so bored

My guess is the rear upper deck lid area. If not there, under the Rear seat, since it's not the under the front seat/floor area.

I was thinking the same thing, but wouldn't that just add too much weight and the wires get pinched from the opening/closing.?!.

I think they are under the black plastic cover that is beside the spare tire.
That would be the only other place apart from some small amps built into the dash maybe.

no, not under there...

both DLS RA50 and JL 500x1 arent THAT small, both are around say...14x10x2"

not under the feet upfront, if idid it there as the seat slid forward, it would hit the amps...though a good idea, i have done it before by cutting the floor and welding in a cubby for the amps...but that was in a toyotal truck lol
