Amp location

Wondering if anyone has thought of any new ideas on an amp placement for the zenclosure box. I was hoping maybe it would fit where the factory amps were but i havent checked it so im not sure. I was also thinking maybe under a seat? if all else fails i might just put it behind the back seat. Planning on installing later today, i'll let you know what i do.

Factory amp area is pretty tight. If you remove the Bose amp you have room for a small Alpine PDX series.

I think if you put the amp behind the back seat, you won't be able to push the box flush....

You are correct in your thoughts Raiders.

Spare tire location is all fine and dandy, until you're on I-20 in the middle of nowhere and get a flat.

haha, yeah... i sort of want to keep my spare. I know the box wont be completely flush but i feel i might have no other option. I don't really like the look where the amp is mounted off to the side.

If you run a 1 sub setup with the zenclosure and keep the sub offset to one side or the other, that should leave room on the rear of the box to mount an amp on the opposite side. Don't know if he will build it like this, but he may.

I ended up just putting the amp behind the box. It still looks good. I really need to buy a camera, haha.
