I had mine where the back of the back seat went, centered it and had a cap on the trans tunnel then the 2 boxes were on top of the rear deck area. I also used to have the amp inbetween the subs up there too.

Mine is on the rear deck held down with velcro and the wires ... has yet to move though so its fine. below is pic of said amp

This was one of my old setups. Under the platform was the AV controller, xbox and cd changer.

ok guys thanks for the help. im a little iffy on mounting it where u guys did...nobody has ever tried to smash the window to steal it?

sweetbmxrider 02-20-2011 07:18 PM

Tint.....when it wasn't tinted or I parked at school I kept a sweatshirt over it

FlyingDutchman 02-20-2011 07:19 PM

My rear window is tinted... dark... the only thing you see is the blue LED when its lit at night other than that its hard to see.

the rear amp rak makes for a clean clean set up

remember rice guy has a vert so no t-tops. im gonna pay close attention to this thread i might be looking to upgrade my sound system this summer and need some ideas on products to use and placement

deadtrend1 02-21-2011 03:14 PM

i dont like the amp on the back deck, cause then the cover wont lay flat when you store your tops

gets in the way when storing T-Tops, and if the hatch were to ever leak, there would be a nice puddle for the amp to sit in.

camarogirl57 02-21-2011 03:38 PM

Anti-rice Guy chose the only space available on the 'vert; like me. But ...oh where to put the Woofer- and still have room for the Top Boot bag??

It's like 1" tall by like 15" wide, it doesn't make much of a difference in storage

The tops would be resting on it. Can you not mount it to the front or back portion of the trunk?

camarogirl57 02-21-2011 07:11 PM

The woofer? That was the question

sweetbmxrider 02-21-2011 07:39 PM

Oh no I was talking about the amp mounting on the bottom of the well.

They don't make something like this for verts? I'm not familiar with the trunks.

The t-tops fit like it was not even there.

But not sure what you mean by the cover wont close. Never was able to close the cover anyway with the ttops even before the amp rack.

WiMiMc 02-21-2011 09:24 PM
