Access Cab - Amp under passenger seat clearance?

I've been doing some research and it appears that the main places people mount their amps are either under the front seats or on the back wall behind the rear passenger seats.

With that being said, I've settled on the front passenger seat. My concern are scratches. For those of you who has mounted your amps under your seats, is it getting beat up? Any scratches/scuff marks?

I like to keep my gear as clean as possible, plus it is a pretty expensive amp. It's an Alpine Status HDA-V90 if anyone cares.

Thanks in advance!

 

Unless you have kids or dogs that ride around in the cab, then I wouldn't worry about it. The only way it's going to get dinged up is if you have someone in the back seat putting their feet on it. Then a simple, nice but firm warning to "not get your grubby feet on my amp" should suffice.

 

Definitely not like the driver's side. I wouldn't dare install my JBL HD900/5 under the driver's seat. I have a powered captains chair, and that joker gets loooooow to the floor.

 

I have two amps and a distribution block under the passengers seat. DSP (which is much smaller) is under the driver's seat. No probs.

 

Punch 75 under the passenger seat. Plenty of clearance and would be hard to get feet on it.

How far it sits forward under the seat and clearance


With the seat all the way up



Pay no attention to the little box that supports the RCAs. Have a loose solder joint I need to repair on the amp board…

 

As long as it's not an older 1kw amp, it'll be fine.

 

Curious, any reason you opted to mount w/terminal blocks facing back, instead of toward the console?

I'm guessing similar to @BMF's situation, it's probably wider than tall, far less exaggerated way, but I can't tell if that's the generation with the diamond-R on top (silver or black, I think there were both). Didn't that gen come with endcaps you can mount to protect wires on one side and dials on the other?

 

Yes, all the adjustments are on the rear facing side of the amp with the terminal blocks, making adjustments easier.

 

desert does it seat jackers may help if need more clearance and seats feel great!
