Default Bose sub DELETE... what do I put there?

I'm considering adding a couple of 10s in my trunk (roadster)... I have a situation though.

1) I don't have anywhere to mount the amp
2) I would then have a dead bose sub behind my seat.


Is there any way to replace this without ruining the aesthetics of the interior? Maybe replace it with a factory glove box, and mount my amp there?

Also, does anyone know the best way to route speaker wires to the trunk of a roadster?


Suggestions and input of any variety are welcome.

I have mounted behind each seat 1 amp mounted vertically to the back wall, make sure you use self tapping screws that are just long enough to penetrate the wall. Because your gas tank is behind this wall.

2) I would then have a dead bose sub behind my seat.

option 2 would be to mount either 1 or 2 amps in this new empty space, keep the same cover that you used for the factory sub so that they can get hopefully some air for cooling.

Ah, nice! I like the idea about leaving the original cover. I wonder if it can be done with the screening still in place.

Either you can do a glovebox or the panel that non-bose cars have, which is approx. $34 at dealers.

That is exactly how I would do mine, use the stock Bose cover and nobody except maybe an occassional passenger will be able to see the lights on amp(s).

FYI: If you buy the passenger glovebox and mount in there, there's a possibility it may rattle if you just mount it using just the front mounting holes.

Mine did until I braced it properly.

The passenger side has a brace for the rear of the box; the drivers side doesn't (04).

Not sure about mounting a door for it though... the easy solution is probably buy ing a blank panel (non-bose ) and use it like a 'hidden' compartment.

Aside from that, it fits. That's where I put my CarPC:
