Where To Mount My Amp

[dezz]

is that a custom made back wall yeah? the factory 1 is too weak to hold amps?

any 1 got any ideas for somone with a strut brace...2 amps, and a 12" sub?

yep it is..

its made from MDF.. with the carpet type material covreing it.

Well.. that's exactly what i'm planning to build!

Dezz.. that should work for you. The back part has enough surface area to hold two amps. I'm going to make a hole on the right-hand side to fit the sub. With the strut-brace, it won't hold a 12", but i'm looking for 10" atm.

gw d00dz!

[dezz]

ill be boxing the 12" and putting it in the boot probably off to the side. the factory wall wont hold 2 amps from what ive been told. im not going to take off my strut brace though, so id either have to work out a way to put a fake wall over the factory 1 while keeping the strut brace, or do a false floor and have the amps under it...

[Ruffels]

nah your right dezz... the factory wall wouldnt hold a feather!!

this is how i did my setup

[RANDY]

Yep yep.... i'm trying to do it all without losing any bootspace. My sub and box is the same as d00ds, and it's way too big. Sold the box on eBay for a few dollars.

dezz do what i did, rip out the side flooring stuff and build a box (up to the manufactures requirements) and fit it in the corner/s (if you have 2 12" like me)

then put the amps in an amp rack on the right side of the battery, then put the divider back in and hey presto!

i'll get some pics for ya soonly

[RANDY]

Mark! How did you secure your false wall? That's what i'm looking to do, and mount the amp too. Only difference is that I want the sub in the right-hand side of the false wall.

[dezz]

cool shane...ruffels will be helpin me out (doing it and me paying ) lol, so get some pics up that'd be helpful

[Ruffels]

wellat the moment.. zip ties ... LOL! but back when that photo was taken i used the factory wall mount to secure the new wall.. although after several months and some heavy cornering.. the facotry wall mount snapped.. so i dont advise using this.. especially if you have heavy amps lol

but at the moment im working on making brackets for it to screw into the roof of the boot like the pics above posted by d00dz i think it was

[Ruffels]

even with my setup, i still have enough room in the boot to put a large rectangular bag to go away somewhere ... so its still fairly roomy (considering how much was there to begin with.. also my sub can be removed in under 10 seconds... so if i need the space its no big deal!

[RANDY]

Here's my idea... The position of the strutbrace, amp, and sub are not correct, but that's roughly where everything needs to go to fit.

[d00dz]

My setup isnt that fancy.. It does the job..

I have no boot space. Not that I carry gold clubs around anyways

Jaycar AMPs are awesome!

What ever you do, don't mount the amp onto the sub box as when you get those deep bass beats you'll rattle the internals out of the amp. If your looking to mount it somewhere to keep the max boot space and keeping the look sleek mount it under the front seat(passengers side).

Not entirely a problem these days. Amps are built pretty well and you'll get vibrations anywhere it goes simply from driving the car.

[RANDY]

Well.. I made the battery-cover idea that I had illustrated earlier.

Used 1200x600x12 MDF. Trimmed it down to size, cut off the angle piece, got some 90 degree brackets and bent them to something like 20 degrees, reattached the angled piece, drilled out the bolt-holes and it fits.

Only problem now is either spot-welding the nuts to the back of the stock mounts or working out some other way of bolting/unbolting the damn thing.

The bottom sits perfectly on my spare tyre, nice and tight... so hopefully it won't vibrate against the metal anywhere.

I've also drawn the line of the strut brace and the floor of the battery-area, and now i'm going to measure that distance up and see what sort of sub I can squeeze in there based on it's magnet size.

Then hole-cutting and carpeting. *phew* And this is after a 12 hour nightshift with no sleep!

I love my skyline but I have just bought a pretty decent stereo. Whats someones thoughts on what it will sound like?

It consists of, top of the range rockford fosgate head unit, 2nd from the best kicker splits in the front, top of the range pioneer 6x9's (the yellow kevlar ones) and a jbl amp which is 110watts rms per channel. Is this a good match up? looking forwared to driving down to sydney with this cranked

[shanef]

No idea, but what cabling do you have?
