Amp mounting location
Has anyone attempted to mount an amp directly to the plastics behind the seat (just below the rear brace)? I'm a little concerned about mounting an 8 - 9 lb amp in this location but I'm curious about the experience of others.

I vaguely recall someone posting pics of doing that but it may have been mounted on the lower section of that panel, closer to the floor.
Edit: I don't remember what "someone" did but I'd glue a piece of plywood to the back side of the plastic and then screw/bolt the amp onto the plywood. The weight of the amp is on the plywood which spreads out the load on the plastic and minimizes flexing. |
Depending on your amp you may be able to place it in the stock amp location.

The more I think about it though the less inclined I am to use this spot though. It seems ideal because it's largely wasted space...but I'm concerned that in the event of an accident an amp that isn't well secured to the body could possibility become a projectile. I enjoy killer audio, but not in that way! I still have a few days before i start the install, so I guess I'll kick it around in my head some more. |
This is where I mounted my amps and Line Output Converter:

Any issues with hitting your seat, or with wires being pinched where you fed them under the trim? |

Edit: I would avoid mounting an amp near the floor and behind the seat. Too easy to block air flow. YMMV |

I can get to the amp in about 2 minutes. Not as convenient as mounting it on,say, the steering wheel, but 2 minutes isn't too long. |
