U should Mount the Amps UNder ur Seats. I pulled my Seats out and mounted mine under the driver seat. It helps to keep it kool because i keep the A/C on the Floor during the Summer, and i dont run Heat on floor during winter so as not to over heat the amp. Cant see teh wires under the seat, but i hid the wires under the carpet anyways to make it look clean.

Amps need enough space around them to properly cool. My JL Audio amp calls for 3", plus my Kenwood amp has a fan on it, which if they were under the seat, would not recieve proper air flow. I'm happy with where they are. Otherwise, I'm sure I would have mounted them elsewhere. Plus, south texas gets pretty hot, so where they're currently mounted, I can cruise with the windows down and get plenty of air to them. Plus, the amps are too damn big.

Heeey.. you'd probably know... I managed to do the speakers and head unit myself... I'm one of those rip apart and learn chicks.. But I'll admit.. I'm a little leary about attempting woofers and subs on my own.. just cause I've never done them before.. anywhere I can get a basic layout of how to aproach doing something like this without the manuals that come with the dern things? For some reason they always end up in the garbage heap.

Lookin' good by the way!

www.installdr.com is a great site

also, the audio and electronics forums on this site can get you information, as well. Really, its just running a few wires the length of the car, but once you do it once or twice, you figure it out pretty well.

thanks for the good words :thumbup:

Hey, if youre all about the black/bluish(or whatever that color is) contrast, maybe you should paint your wheels black too. I think that would look pretty cool.... may even eliminate the need to get replacements down the road. You could get them powdercoated or just repaint them every few months with the Krylon touch. :exnbp:



.....I'm all too familiar with the Krylon touch....

actually, I've seriously considered that. Then one place I do know that powdercoats (I haven't shopped around yet) charges $400 per set.

I was thinking maybe gunmetal, tho.
