Amplifier location question

Post by nmorris43 »

I have a question about the location of my mono block sub amp. I have 1999 Chevy Suburban with the third row of seats. There is not room under the third row to put the amp. Any suggestions or examples of places in this type of vehicle to put the amp and keep it out of plain sight (security)??

Thanks, nmorris43

I think I figured it out. In the second row of seats there is a quite large space under the the seat on the drivers side. The seat also pulls up for easy access. The power run from the battery will be slightly shorter but the speaker wires will be slightly longer. I think its the best option. any thoughts from anyone???

as long as it fits and can get some air circulation you should be good. If you need to circulate more air, you can use computer cooler fans. Just make sure you don't try to power them off your remote turn on wire. Use a relay. What amp are you using? There's usually quite a bit of room under the front seats. You could always build a false floor. Basically a box in the back of the truck just tall enough to fit the amp, but takes up the entire back so it looks like the floor but with the amplifier inside.
