i made a little amp rack inside the cubby behind both seats. There is lots of room if you don't have the bose sub in there.

My two-channel US Acoustics amp is mounted under the passenger seat. Some have used a custom amp rack in the glovebox or behind the driver's seat.

How did you mount under the passenger seat? Its lumpy under there, so I assumed it wouldn't sit flat. That is the place I preferably wanted to mount, but I think I am going to make it easy and go with the pass. glove box.

Yeah, I think the cubby is going to work for me as well since i ran the wires there last night and REFUSE to take apart my damn car again. Got the iPod cable in the cubby, though I had wanted it in the arm rest cup holders but didn't want to drill into it.

Wish I could take the credit, but Dom (Mr X) deserves all the praise for this install (which he's since changed/ upgraded a few times. ). Wait 'till you see what Bing is building for me.

I used a dremel tool and cut a small hole in the front part of the arm rest. You can't see the hole and it makes it a lot easier to get in and out when I need to update it or take it with me.



I also used both cubbies to hold my 2 amps, crossovers, and a dirstribution block.

Here is what I have done. I am not done installing yet, but this should give you some kind of idea.

Whatever you do DO NOT PUT SCREWS THROUGH THE FLOOR in this space behind the seats, some have discovered the gas tank is directly below it.

QFT.

They discovered it the HARD way.

PS - Thankfully I'm not one of them, someone pointed this out to me, like this. Be glad they did.
