amp postion

where is the best place to mount an amp so that it is not easily visiable but still gets enough air flow?

If the amp is not too big you can mount the amp in the compartment on the drivers side. Or you could mount the amp in where the spare goes behind the panel. Also if you have room you could put the amp in the bottom of the well. Hope his helps.

I have 2 CrossFire 10" subs, with a Crossfire 600 D. the amp is turned all the way down so i dont blow the subs... I have a custom box that fits in the 'well' with my amp moundted right between them. you cant see the amp at all. my window is tinted at 5%. it sits far enought back that you have to have a different angle but then you still really cant see it... then i have my T Top Bag pulled right up to it.. its really hard to see... but it looks good when i waant to go cruzin. I pull down the back seats and its all back there pointing right at you... My set up sounds and looks good!

if your car doesnt have t tops i guess you dont have a bag??? does your amp get hot ever or not... Mine has never been real Warm... and is your windows tinted? if you have either or both of those (tint, T TOp bag) it's easy...

How is your set up with the SUB BOX?
T TOPS?
TINTED WINDOWS?

that can be dangerous unless you are aware that the gas tank is very close to that "hump" underneath of it.

It works really well if you bridge it, but if you try to run 2 subs off of it, you dont get much....190X2 or 380X1. I run bridged, and it rattles rear view mirror, side mirrors, change, your shirt, and anything around the rear view mirror. check my other post to see the rest of my Sony setup. As for the gas tank being there, I'm pretty sure that the screws did not hit it cuz I have taken them out b4 and never had any leaks, and the screws are pretty damn long. But if the gas tank is puncured, I'll take it back to Bass-X (local stereo store) cuz they installed it and make them fix it. I can prove they did that, unlike my trunk. They broke my trunk motor, but denied it and said they had the same problem closing it, but I know that they slammed the trunk and didn't realize that it was motorized (bastards). Can't do much though, cuz I don't really have any proof exept my word against there's, and they have a pretty good reputation. I would have normally installed it myself, but my parents decided to get it installed for me as a X-mas gift, and seeing how I hadn't had time to do it, I went ahead and let them pay for it (stupid me).

I used to have my amp like that but it fell off i think. Eh, the box i have no fills the well so that i had to move it anyways. I got one amp on my deck and the other under my drivers seat.
