Since I got rid of my bose, I found this little spot to be a nice *hidden* place for the amp.











Now on the back of the seat, I can mount my sub amp and x-overs

What do you all think?

 

might want to add a fan since it's an enclosed space and airflow is restricted.

 

its not a bad place and i have considered it before, but god help you if you ever have to tune it or fix it, cahse everytime, you will need to do all that to get to it

but again, or a completely hidden location, it aint bad...i may try a variation of that install in the near future so there can be the best of both worlds...now i just need to find another G to do lol

There is pleanty of air there because the air vent for the trunk is right there.

 

isnt the vent below on the floor? heat needs to vent up, so a vent that opens downward cant help heat escape...or maybe i am missing something as to where this vent is?

 

The vent is on the side near the bumper, you can see it in the pic in the corner by the amp. I installed my amp in the same location, but on the top of the stock amp bracket, just enough room to put the cover back on. I'm eventually going to install a fan to blow out of the vent along with one that will push air into the area from the space near the bottom of the spare tire. I'll get pics when I get a chance

 

I couldn't get the cover on until I removed the stock brackets for the amp.

 

I cut the black plastic "fins" that are on the underside of the black floor/support piece so that my 500/5 would fit on top of the stock amp bracket. But yeah, that's the same place I fit my 500/5.

 

Yah those fins make it a little tight fit when I put the cover on. I was just too lazy to get the extension chord for the dremel

 

I used a box cutter/razor to score the fin where it met the support. Then I ripped it off with vice grips All of them came off clean as a whistle, no debris or jagged edges.

 

So the place you found to mount the new amp is the same place where the old amp was mounted?

Sorry for the necropost...
