Amp placement

hey guys trying to put subs and an amp in, just wondering where i should put the amp? thanks

 

put mine under passenger front seat, ill snap a photo for you tomorrow

 

thanks, how did you wire it?

 

power wire from battery on driver side along firewall to passenger side grommet, down to the kick panel and along the door sill to the amp- i used snake tubing along the whole length. ran the audio wires along the other side to reduce interference, also used snake tubing along the audio wires once they come out of the carpet.
im using a kicker amp thats pretty small and black, so with the snake tubing its totally invisible under there.

also theres a bit of a hump, directly in the center that seems to be a bit higher up than the ground - this prevents it from getting wet (you would need a half inch of standing water in the cab, and at that point you got bigger fish to fry..err electronics.) i just slid a small piece of plywood under the carpet and then mounted the amp to that, so its not sliding around and your not mounting it directly to the metal.

id love to get some pics for you tom

 

thanks id love to see pics, i plan on taking the day to do this by myself but ill have a buddy who knows a little more electronics

 

Yeah it's a pretty easy install. Worst part for me was finding placement. This is what I decided to go with temporarily and I ended up liking it. Made brackets that go under the stock seat brackets and hold it in so it's really easy to pull out and throw in my bed in the rare event theres more than 3 people in my truck but it's the same amount of foot room that the rear center seat has. Pretty much every cab except the DC is easier to find a place for a sub

 

i got the fitment for right under the double seat in the back, i figured i could put the amp under the single seat but i dont think its that easy. also, do you know anything about the double seat not clicking in the down position?

 

no im not sure about that,i just loved that storage under there and didnt wanna use the real estate for an amp when it could be out of sight under the front. u could mount it on the back wall but im not a huge fan of having the amp being rattled right next to the sub

 

well i guess ill figure it out soon enough, how long did your install take?

 

an hour for me. but im pretty good with it and had the harness pre soldered before the install that was another half hour
