Right now I have btoh of my amps and my disc changer in a little box I built in the back, but I want more room for stuff so I was thinking of installing them all in my back seat.

I have a 1 piece raer seat.
W X L X H
Amp 1 dimensions = 7" X 9.5" X 2"
Amp 2 dimensions = 9.5" X 12" X 2.5"
Changer dimensions =6.75" X 10" X 3.9"

I want to put the amps on both sides of the disc changer. Since the disc changer is almost 4" tall I will have it in the middle since no one really sits in the middle because there wont be as much padding there.

Does anyone have any links to instructions on how to make a good one?

Ill probbaly use plexiglass with cooling fans and Ill have to have a hole or a hatch so I can take the disc changer magazine out. MY main concern is the disc changer because it is kind of thick, but I do not know a better place to put it since I have subs in the back I can not really put it in the glove box or it will skip.

Does anyone have any links to instructions on how to make a good one? Or any recommendations for me?

 

Well, JPrevost, Jobryan, and another guy who's username starts with "p" (I feel sh*tty that I can't remember his name, his was the first that I saw and I was really impressed...) have all made excellent rear seat amp racks. However, I don't think that any of them included their disc changer with it. They are generally a lot taller than amps, so it may be hard to squeeze in. Have you thought about using the rear driver's side storage compartment?

My long term plans for my system include building one myself, but that's only after I've completed the install in my brother's 97 Camaro. So far these three have been good examples of how it can be a really successful project if you put in the time and effort. I'm sure if you check out their sigs they'll have some hints and pictures.

 

Here's mine. I hope this helps.

I hope to has that thing finshed before long. I haven't messed with it much in the past few months due to the weather being so cold and I don't have a garage.

 

It isn't hard. Took me less time to do the amp rack than I thought it would. Just need to be handy with hardware and plan everything out before you start cutting.
The cd changer won't fit and don't put it on the middle hump imbetween. That's just asking for a break in.
Seriously, just measure the back seat when it's out and make plans for how you'll mount the amps to the seat. Start cutting and test fit, mine fit first time and my actual method of mounting the amps is only 4 strips of wood. The amps had a large enough edge that I could inversly screw the wood in to "flip" the amps. Then I attached the wood to the seat plastic with some L brackets I made from sheet metal. I used big washers and really short course screws to go into the plastic. Only predrilling required was for the amp to slats so as not to split the wood (only 3/4" wide). Then I cut the foam with a metal hack saw to half the thickness. Put everything back together and made SURE not to cross any signal wires with power wires. Infact I believe my setup is far superior to most. I have the RCAs going up the middle under the carpet (no wires, even around the fuel pump by over a foot), the power wire goes from the passengers side and speaker wires go to the drivers side glove box (to my crossovers), and then back to all the speakers again avoiding any power wires. The alpine amps have the power and ground on the bottom of the seat (when up) and the RCA and speaker wire is all up top so even on the seat there are no wires crossing or coming within a foot of eachother! Slap a CD in and the sound is so clean, start my car and the exhaust changes everything . Sometimes you just can't have the best of both worlds ALL the time.
Check out my website (2 sites in my sig) for pictures of my amp install.

 

Hey JP do you think you could post some more deatailed instructions on how you did the install, that looks so sweet, i definatley want to do it.

 

I don't have the time to do another article right now but I'll put it on my to do list.
It's really simple, mark off where you want your amps, then look on the top side (where foam goes and where it's curved) and make sure you'll have room for your stuff. Don't put it too close to the sides where the metal is our you'll run into problems mounting the amp. I used a drill to cut 2 starting holes for my jig saw. The saw went through the plastic like butter and then I was ready to test fit, good, worked, done with that. Now I put down a towel, layed the back seat on it (foam side facing up) and layed the amps in upside down. Reason for towel was to keep from scrathing up the amps. Then I measured the height I would need to make the strips of wood. Cut them out length and height, grabbed some metal L hardware and used course short screws to hold everything into the plastic. That's seriously ALL I did. Then I covered and carefully cut the carpet and left extra to tuck into the side of the amps. That's the flush look and no need to glue anything so long as the carpet is kept long enough to tuck nicely next to the amps.
