ER34 - Where To Place The Amp

[8110]

I have a pretty big amp. It's a 4 channel Epsilon but doubt it will fit under the seats. I'm not a fan or adding wood panels or drilling on the rear metal shelf in the boot.

Where and how did you mount yours?

here's where mine's mounted.

Howie, you added in a piece of wood on your boot shelf? How you mounted it? Screwed it onto?

mines underneath the drivers seat and is a 4 channel pretty big one too...fits nicely, has been there for more than a yr no dramas..nicely hidden away too...

Single piece of wood, that's made to fit the space behind the rear bench. It's really tight so you have to force it in there, no screws. I could've made a right angle bracket and screwed it onto that but it stayed on so tight anyhow i thought it wasn't necessary.

that amp is roughly the same size jon, should fit under the drivers one.

[8110]

Under the drivers seat has a bigger space than the passenger seat?

[Yotis]

Can't remember the clearance, but you might want to see how much leg room is left after you put the amp under the driver seat.. Last thing you want is someone "stepping" on your amp...

With passenger seat, it might not be a very good option if it is a coupe... just 2c worth.

i made a false floor in the boot for mine and mounted them ( 2x alpine v12s ) under that. no drillig etc. made a box for the subs and used existing holes and bolted it through the parcel shelf

[8110]

Cool. Any pics?

[Chris Rogers]

not from me, jon may have one though. hieght wise you are ok.

[8110]

Ok. So it's possible to fit an amp under the drivers seat.

[n15m0]

yup it is...jst take the amp and stick it in there jst to test fit...should be fine. Mine is a coustic amp...about 5cm tall...

Thanks mate. Your install looks good.

Today I managed to squeze the amp under the drivers seat. Changed the front door speakers to 5" and added in tweeters. It doesn't really sound good coz there's no bass. I left the rear speakers as it is from the factory. Perhaps I need to change that as well?
