Amp mounting.

Post by c0n13oX »

Where have people mounted their amps? Will one fit under the passenger seat?

Honestly ...

Get a bit of MDF. Cut it and fit it behind the passenger seat. When you take the seats out, there is a piece of black plastic which you can use as a template...

Put the MDF there, and mount in the boot. Amps under seats can pick up a lot of heat. And there is no circulation. Trust me when I say the way above is easier...
I just had to add it ......

Do you mean passenger seat or rear seats?

You can put one under the front passenger seat although it may need get enough air and overheat. I have mine bolted to the back of my sub box [attachment=-1]uploadfromtaptalk1398210674630.jpg[/attachment] like so

Rear seats..

Remove rear seats - get template - cut MDF

Put black plastic back - put MDF in - put seats back in

You can feed the wires through the MDF to the amp and power up without seeing a cord... Or just feed all wires through the bottom of the boot floor up to the amp and speakers...

Much better option than under a seat. Plus the FTO sits pretty low, so you will have even more reduced air flow. I am lucky in the Swift, as I could fit a DSP an under seat sub under the seats... With still plenty of height ...
