Exclamation Where the hell can I put my amps???

I have a 400 watt amp and a 75 watt amp and i can't figure out some where to put them besides the back deck in plain sight...i thought about building a cover and carpeting it but then there's the overheating problem...and there's certainly no where that i've found to hide them anywhere...any help would be great!!! thanks!!!

If your amps are small enough, there's room in the spare tire well AND you can still keep the spare. Check out the link in my sig for pics as well as directions.

DUH!!! read the instructions page lol J/K!!! yeah i don't think my 400 watt component amp is going to fit inside my wheel and i know it won't fit behind it...so basically the amp is just sandwiched between the antena and the quarter???

You can do a fan-cooled enclosure, rear wall is nice too, window tint helps... Under the seat is very hardcore, but works for a lot of people...

yeah if i did the enclosure on the rear deck i would put some computer fans or something in there...i might be going with the back wall but i'd rather them be hidden somewhere...thanks

does anybody have the mounting instructions to that subthump thing cause i have most of a piece of MDF left over from building my box so instead of buying a $70 piece i'll build a $5 one...i just haven't figured out the perfect way to mount it???

The spare tire IS on the spare tire rim and the jack is moved behind the tire as well...if I ever have a flate I've got a spare and jack. All I have to do is cut the 2 wire ties that hold the amp board to the spare and everything will slide right out.

I knew the 400 watt amp didn't have a chance, but I was thinking the 75 watt might have been able to fit...of course since you didn't provide dimensions or what amps you have, I had no way of knowing for sure.
