Can I see pictures of where people mount their amps at?
I can't decide where the most appropriate place to mount it would be (out of sight, not in the T-Tops way, not puncturing the tank, ect) and would like some insight ... I've found a few mounting racks for different placement of amps and just would like some opinions.
...and GO!
How big is it?
i used to have mine in the spare tire compartment...
I saw a pic of someone who mounted it on the trunk cover, thought it was pretty creative. Thought it was cool, let me see if I can find it.
It's an Alpine 500w amp (may or may not be dual channel, I didn't look) ... dimensions: 10 5/8" by 9 1/2" ... like 5lbs or so and I have the stealth box with a 10" Alpine Type R in it (which I also don't know how to secure it w/o going thru something else
are you thinking of this one?Quote:

10" Sony sub, 600 watt amp, 1.5 cap.
i skipped over that one ... my only thing with that would that if someone decided they wanted to gank it ... smash my window, yank and go, it'd be easy :shrug:Quote:

i know what you mean im puting my amp on the front wall where the t-tops go after i get it painted that way i can cover it up when im not around but still in a good spot for car shows. after i get some paint on it ill post pics up.Quote:

THAT - that's what i want to do! but the back piece isn't flat to mount it ... would i make something out of MDF and make it work?Quote:

I honestly don't know. I copied these pictures, don't remember from where when I first got my car to use as an example to show the guys at Soundman what I wanted. I really liked the set up. My car still has to be a grocery getter, so... I need my space back there.Quote:

You could make something out of mdf. Just contour it to the back wall and make it big enough to fit your amp.
Grab some cardboard, masking tape, and a utility knife and make a template.
sounds good. i may have to do that.Quote:
