Where did you place your amp? - Click HERE for Original Thread

~30oZ~
Hey guys, just wondering where you placed the amps to your speakers in your Z. Looking for the best/cleanest install areas for the amps.

Please post pics if you can.:)

I had a t3002. It nice cause it covers thw wires with a removable plate. I put it in front of my box and bolted it to the trubk floor liner. It lookd clean and you have plenty of room for wire below. With my kicker I did basically the same hting, cept bought little plastic circle things for the wires cause I didint want the frayed plywood holes lol.

I'm making a box for my bud now. It has the subs, [0=0] with the amp in the middle. I'm making 2 faces. One for the subs to bolt into, and one slightly larger than the subs. I want to bolt that 2nd face onto the orignal with spacers so there's 3/4" or so room between. Then. The hope is that I can run the wires behind this 2nd face and that amp wont get rattled to shit! I dont like seeing wires lol. Also, I like seeing the amp!

Several places over the years.

1) Under the passenger seat.

Pros:

-total stealth.

Cons:

-can heat up, not much airflow
-can't run a physically large amp.

* note* ran a Rockford 4 channel there in my old NA. Currently have a D class Memphis sub amp under the turbo passenger seat.

2) Parcel shelf (in a 2+0), like so:



Pros:

-easy to change settings
-looks hoopy cool, especially with neon:


Cons:

-installation is tricky
-'steal me'

3) In the hatch

Pros:

-good ventilation, many different installation options, mounted to a sub box, for example.
-not easily visible with cargo cover

Cons:

-t-top storage
-long RCA cables from Head Unit

4) In the trunk (convertible)

Pros:

-stealth

Cons:

-looooooong RCA cables from Head Unit
-not really an option for 98% of Z32s out there.

Depends on the size of the amp, but under the pass. seat is usually the best option.

Regards,
