Best location to hide amp

[lexy]

that's how i have mine right now. a kenwood 1000W class D and a pioneer 4 channel on top of my 2x10 box and it's really top-heavy. if i brake hard my box comes rolling towards the back seat. it's done some serious "customizations" to the subs.

moral of the story: i found that's a bad place to mount amps.

so how u get the box from moving any way to mount those??

I have both of my amps mounted on the back seat. The way I kept my box in place was to use 2 L brackets. One side was mounted to the box and the other side mounted to the trunk floor.

well, usually your sub and box weighs enough, although it all depends on the box and sub.

for example i got 2 12s in a vented enclosure, weighs a ton! two people are needed just to lift it, barely fit in the trunk and i had to remove the trunk liner of the wheel wells just to get that extra hald inch on each side so the box could fit between the wheel wells. i wouldnt of had a trunk at all if i hadnt done this.

so all that to say that mine do not move what so ever.

before those i had one 12 in a ported enclosure and it was pretty heavy also, it never moved much.

i have had mine on the back seat. i have also put it down by the spare tire. its a lil harder to put it in the donut area butit never over heats. just make sure no to crush it.

Mines on top of the box.
You can't see the amp unless you actually bend down and look at the top of the box.

[jcoleman_11]

screwing on the box is a popluar move and its very convenient when you want to move your equipment into another car, but id have to say its much cleaner having it on the back seat.

Make sure when you mount your amp that the heat sink fins run up and down, not side to side.

When I was an active G20 owner at another forum, a guy had installed an amp in his roof...upside down from the roof, w/the headliner customized to open around the amp...

I was searching for pics, but can't find it yet.

But wait, we are talking about hiding it right?

n'mind then...

Amp on the box is like gift wrapping it for a thief.

[jcoleman_11]

amp on the roof....thats the worst idea ever in my opinion. and i gotta agree with the gift wrap idea, easy takin for a theif.

I'm not a fan of mounting under the seats. There's too much chance of a backseat passenger kicking it and breaking connections or worse. Mine hides behind the back seat.


Something about the angle I took this at makes it look more off-center than it really is. It sits on 1" copper legs to allow the stinger crossflow fan on the left side to blow air under it.

That fan is sweet , where do I get one

i noticed you got 0AWG wire going into your amp too, sexy. i love 0awg wire. most of the time its overkill, but its just so damn sexy.
