Where Have You Mounted Your Amps?

[r32woohoo]

hey all

As above where have you guys mounted your amps?

I was thinking of putting a sheet of MDF across where the metal plate used to be in the boot and mounting them there.

Just wanna know if there are any other better places

I just mounted mine on the sub, my sub is uncovered with carpet so it was easy to bolt it on

thats how I do them. wire the amps first them screw it to the back of the seat frame. nice neat and simple.

Hey i just put two amps in my R33 behind the back seat in that empty space next to the battery. It all fits in neat and when i put the trim back on you will not even know they are in there. I will post some pics later. Only prob i am having at moment is with interference from the alternator. I think this it because of my wire locations with speaker and battery wires too close together and some crossing.

sorry to bump up an old thread,

So the best place to put amp is on a piece of MDF board where the metal board used to be?

Does the board rattle or does the seat hold it in firm?

Chris Rogers do you have any pics of an amp installation on a r32 as to how you mounted it.

Cheers

Rekin, with the professional job your doing on that parcel shelf, you shouldnt need to ask for any advice with mounting an amp!!! It sounds like a work of art!

haha i couldnt have done the shelf without seeing some of the other shelves made by SAU people.

This amp mounting is a whole new story and got no idea on it

take the plastic cover out and copy it onto a bit of 12mm MDF. get the carpet to suit your car and you are done. I'll see if I can grab the car I did a few weeks back.

Are you talking about the plastic grey thing on the wall inside the boot?

Did you remove the metal panel between the rear seats and boot?

I dont think there will be a way to pass the amp wiring with that metal panel there...

Pics would be great!

I have 2 smaller amps in my 32 and i just had them mounted under each front seat.

They arent noticable there and any wires just go under the carpets etc...

My amp is mounted onto the back of the seats, in the boot.

Easy.

yep the one that sits on the seat back. copy it. leave the steel in place. there are two access holes on the sides around the strut towers that you can send the cabling through.

trying to chase the car I did down so I cna get a snap of it.

thanks for that,

Just purchased some aerpro 4ch 8ga 600w amp wiring on an impulse. Repco had a sale! Should be enough to power 4 speakers.

Cheers

[r32woohoo]

since i didnt have the metal plate in the car when i bought it

i cut out a 750mm x 270mm mdf board and screwed it into the old holes.

it does leave a gap underneath it to pass cables through but my installer drilled holes through the board.

ill try and get sum pics

black carpet looks dodgy i noe but i was too lazy to hunt down better carpet

looks a bit messy but it does look nice n clean wen u have another amp mounted

grab a 100a circuit breaker as well and a fused distro block ( I haev them if you need them) as well. that way it is protected.

thats close to what I mean. copy the panel and use charcoal grey carpet and you will have it.
