i say somehow mount them inside the center console. that way they are out of site and do not give ****** the go ahead to break in and steal your stuff.

the bass boost and volt meter is for an audiobahn amp. You gys know where the window buttons are? There is alot of blank space there...like where a cupholder could be. Well..I think I might take both of these things, and mount them flush there....they would be out of the way..not cluttered at all....and would still have that custom look.

I was going to make the same suggestion as EasyspeedCamaro. You can make a separate box out of ABS and place it right where you have them now so it's like an extention of your center console. Then gut the contents of the bass **** box and voltmeter and mount them side by side. I mounted a bass boost **** in my Saturn right into the center console like other people said and it's very hidden (which is what i wanted since it's been broken into before).

alright...I snapped a few pictures....I'm not sure if i wanna mount both of them there or not....what do you think? It would probably look alright with both of them mounted flush there....just kind of hard to tell when they aren't installed...sitting on top....

I mounted mine in the center console. I should of mounted it closer to the front because that would of gave me more room in the console for the cd case but it looks good there, is hidden and is easily accessable.

looks like a pretty good idea. The only reason I really don't wanna mount my bass boost **** in there is because it's back lit....cobalt blue...and I'd hate to just mount it where it's not visible.

What about on the roof where the roof console would be, just infront of the rearview mirror? Easy to hide the wires behind the A-pillar trims and would look good to boot!

What about somewhere below the steering wheel above your knees. That way its somewhat still visible, especially to people in the car, but doesnt stand out as much as if it were in the open.

Thats what I would probably do anyways, try to keep the interior a little cleaner looking.

well...I thought and thought....thought about over head somehow...but I had my headliner replaced no to long ago...and I don't wanna start hacking that up. I thought about by my knees....but it looked cluttered. So I went ahead...took my console out....and mounted them both in the original spot. Here is a picture....I think it looks really good...they are flush, out of the way, still has that custom look...and dosen't look cluttered at all.
