I was planning to get this bass package from crutchfield

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_236MB21....html?tp=61893

i just need suggestions on where to put the amp. should i just screw it on the subwoofer box?

thank you

Screwing it to the box would definitely be the easiest option

There is also plenty of space under the passenger seat.

There's a lot of room under the passenger seat. I installed my 21" long 4 channel amp under there. If you install it on the box, you'll need to run some pretty large gauge wire all the way back from the battery. Under the set would be a much shorter run, and you could use smaller gauge wire.

ok thank you so much for the replies! its going to be my first time doing this so crossing fingers lol

is it hard to remove the passenger seat? after i remove it do i just screw the amp on the floor or do i need to do something else ?

floor is uneven - you would need to buils some sort of podium..

you're gonna need some basic tools like jigsaw, drill, some mdf, etc.

I dont have that much tools on where i am now , i was just thinking on mounting the amp on a plywood and hiding it securely under where the spare tire is :/

that should be ok

buy some cheap amp wiring kit from e-bay,, should be around 15 dollars

Aineal · 12-14-2013, 06:13 PM

Thank you so much ill post update once i have everything :)

TOLMACH · 12-14-2013, 06:58 PM

go with 4 gauge kit

sqcomp · 12-14-2013, 11:26 PM

Keep the ground as short as possible. Remember to fuse the amp within 18" of the battery as well.

Also, before you turn on the amplifier turn the gain all the way down...just in case you have any Voltage spikes when turning it on. Take a look at the options for the amplifier's crossover section to make sure you've dialed everything as well as possible before you turn it on.

How did you solve the floor issue that TOLMACH mentions in post #6 ?

TOLMACH · 12-15-2013, 07:19 PM

^ This is how TOLMACH did.. small pod, covered by the automotive carpet. blue wire is ground, positive is well protected.. crappy interconnects are for subwoofer amp - look like garbage but do the job

i then changed the seats, hence had to move the second amp to the other side

front amp interconnects are on the other side (self-made)

TOLMACH · 12-15-2013, 07:21 PM

(i know.. could not find any hear shrink tube around (( now buy this stuff from e-bay)

I like that they say their gauge 4 is real gauge 4 (25 mm2)

Cheaper stuff will also do the job
