Where to mount my NOS bottle if I put in subs?
Right now I have my 10lb Nitrous Bottle in the dip in the back. I am planning on putting 2 12" subs in the dip. Do any of you guys have subs and NOS? If you do, where did you mount the bottle? Any info would be great. Also if any of you have pics please post them too.

Yeah, just as long as you don't get t-boned right there in the rear passenger quarter panel, should be fine! 
Not much of an alternative though. You could try that trick like on **** and the Flertious ... custom make a passenger seat to where you can install it in there ...

I was wondering if any of you have mounted the bottle above the gas tank. I was thinking of putting it there but I don't know if where I would put the blow down tube. I want my car to be show quality so I want the bottle to be seen, Have any of you guys ever mounted a bottle on the gas tank before?

I would say either tare away the spare and put it in there, or on the hump. If you get a custom box put in you could also shorten the bow up and fit the tube in the hump still UNDER your box. I don't know if there will be enough clearance but you should measure and see. I think I could fi one under mine if I needed to. Just a thought

I say put it under the back seats! Ya know, ya can lift off the seat (where you sit) by taking off a bolt and pulling it out. Mount it there.... just make sure some fat *** doesn't rupture it by falling on the seat or whatever.... or else you'll be laughin about nothing for awhile.

Ok, I was at a Hooter's car show this last weekend and I saw a 92 fox body mustang hatchback that had two nitrous bottles mounted above his gas tank and two 10" subs in the dip in the trunk. Now of course rustang boy was no where to be found but the set up was awesome. Have any of you ever done a set up similar to that?

do you have a split bench seat, if so maybe, not sure, but maybe u could cut some of the sheet metal away and make a sweet lookin custom install. while this may be crazy it would look really cool.
while maybe impossible or very hard, it might look pretty sweet(maybe) but o well.
Not much of an alternative though. You could try that trick like on **** and the Flertious ... custom make a passenger seat to where you can install it in there ...
