amp under seat

[Ryan from Ohio]

You may have issues with your grounds.

Your radio is grounded up front, amp under the seat then an amp in back for subs... Not good.

Easiest thing to do is make a simple amp rach, thats what I did.



I cut up some 3/4" MDF to fit right under that formed square bar behind the seat. Take a look in the trunk you will see it.

I recessed some "T" mounting brackets into the mdf, covered it. Secured it to the top square bad with 4 self drilling/tapping sheet metal screws. It was pretty solid.

Ryan do you have some pics of the back? I would like to see the brackets to hold it in there and what it looks like from the back. I've been wanting something like this for some time now.

I will see what I can do to get some pics tomorrow night.



Thats the bracket I used. Got it at Lowes.

If you look up in the trunk theres a straight flat piece running the width of it. I cut the board so it would be snug. Used my router to flush mount the T Brackets. The top of the T then simply screwed into the flat piece on the ho.

Beware my trunks a disaster right now... lol.

Cool I would appreciate it and if this is that easy then I would love to do this for mine. As soon as I seen the pic I could tell where you got it from and could probably tell you which Aisle cause I'm in there at least twice a week LOL!. Do you remember the measurements? If not I could get them but any info in advance is a plus. Thanks!

Theres the pics of the area I was talking about. notice the holes.

I didnt get a pic of my amp rack thats down, darns the rain/snow/sleet/hail mix we got going on...

You will notice I had to trim away a bunch of plastic also. The board fit very snug between the towers and I had to cut some 45' degree angles to clear the radius in the corners. The 45's were tight and helped keep it all in place. It wasnt rock solid, but it wasnt moving anywhere either. I tend to err in part to doing as little modifications as possible, no holes I dont really have to, etc.
