Amp locations

[Canadian Girl]

So I am getting ready to install all my stereo.....my brother spoiled me for Christmas...... and I have my Sub-X enclosure.......... but I have spent forever trying to find amp locations

where is everyone putting their amps? Mine is too big to go in the storage under the seats...... there is no air flow down their anyways.......

and if I put it under my drivers seat....is anyone bolting the amp down....please help

I have always screwed the amp down to the floor. Not gonna move around too much. Run the wires through the split where the seat harness comes through.

Mine is located under the driver seat. I didn't bolt it down tho but it shouldn't move around because my Husky mats sorta keep it in place.

Under driver seat because the battery is located on the driver side and that is where I ran my wires also.

Disconnect the battery if you plan on removing the driver's seat. Not sure if you have a side airbag or not but you probably don't want to set that off. KABOOM!

Dont think it has a side airbag on 2007 but i know 2009 models do. I mean screw down to the carpet basicaly, not bolt to the floor

If you really didnt want to screw the amp down you could always try some good velcro. A couple of two inch wide strips down the amp should prevent it from moving unless it was seriously kicked

Using a small self-tapping screw to hold them to the carpet is the best way. You never see the holes, even when the amp is removed.
I have both my amps under the seats

The Cadence is on the driver side for the sub and a Diamond Audio on the other.

this is mine.... i know you have a seat box but this is an idea if you are looking to spend time trying to get the right spot for you...

I have mine under the seats. Just for the heads up there will be some slight modifications needed on the passenger and for me the driver seat. I had to use a little cut off wheel and it took probably 20 mins. Good luck with the install. Depending on your amp's depth on the passenger side you will either have to cut this bar off or turn it upside down.

If you have to do that, you might wanna try to flip the bar upside-down. I cut the bar off and the seat was just a tad bit wobbly without it in there

i put mine under the drivers seat and bolted it down

Under the drivers seat, get some velcro and use the hard part only and stick it on the under side of the amp. It'll grab hold of the carpet just like the other piece of velcro would. Won't go anywhere.

That is exactly what I did.

I have one under each seat, metal brackets to the seat bolts so they can't be 'ripped out'.
