93DRIFT · 05-09-2004, 03:27 PM

ive got an s13 coupe and i just bought a 2 channel concept amp for my 6.5's up front....anyone have any idea where i can stick it up under the dash or something. the amp is too tall the put under the seat and i would like to keep it hidden. also i want to stay away from putting it in the trunk, but let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks for the input, graham

put it on the back of the rear seat

if you dont use your glove box, like me, you could mount it in there.

i am thinking about the glove box, the amp is a bit too big to fit thought, but i may rig up something

The amp should have instructions for how much ventilation it requires, keep that in mind so it doesn't overheat.

fuel pump dash. get a piece of board to mount it to. right under rear speaker dash. you can fit 2 decent size amps there. very easy and convinient location.

is it small enough to go under your center console?

ICKY · 05-10-2004, 01:26 PM

I could only think maybe behind the front seats? Run the wires through your center console. But that is if you dont use the back seats. The seats also cover it up pretty nicely too.

thanks for the replies, i think im prollly gonna go with mounting it under the rear deck, the amp is just a tiny bit too big to get into the glove box, i woulda liked it though, i thought of under the console but its also not big enough, i shoulda just bought a smaller amp i guess......now i just gotta run more damn wires through her up to the front, ah well, thanks bros
