Clearance Question I'm thinking about mounting my amp horizontally on "platform" behind the back seat. I know that the fuel tank is located directly below that particular part of the interior. I'm thinking about drilling holes, so this could be damaging if I hit the tank. I was wondering if there is any clearance between the chassis and the fuel tank. Anyone have any answers? |
you have like 1/4 of an inch, id just pull up the carpet and glue a board down to the metal, put the carpet down and screw into the board using SMALL screws. Ive seen people cut out the shape of the amp in the carpet , bolt the amp to the board then pull the carpet back so all you see is the top of the amp, no wires or anything. This SUCKS big time if you ever remove the amp because you end up with a hole in your carpet. somthings to think about though |
ive drilled into that metal,,, and now have gas leak but theres a good chance thar it could be just rust....i havent taken the tank down to cheack it yet...but so i dont have to drill anymore i made and amp rack that my amps bolt to.....cutting the carpet is a stupid idea putting a board under the carpet then drilling into that makes better sence,,its same thing. |
Cool, thanks guys. My buddy has some rivets that he mounted his nitrous tank with, and he said that would be another way to mount the amp. Hmmm...things to ponder. |
You should never mount your amp directly to the metal of the car anyway. |
I like the idea of mounting a board up there; and here's somethign else to consider. You could play with the steel under the side plastic panels. I'd get some strapping, bolt it to the steel under the side panels. Then put the side panels back. Then attach your board to the metal straps. No drilling near gas tanks, no explosions, easy to remove the board if you have to later. |
