pro3mark Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I was thinking of chicking my amp down there, do you think it will get enough cooling?I put my crossovers in the space behind the center console on the floor, LOTS of room back there.

little rich Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Mark I think it will have enough cooling there, better than in a small lupo boot, or under a false floor imo,Crossover wise, do you mean behind the fan switches etc? there is loads of room there ooo, But will my cables reach? hahaThanksRich.

pro3mark Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yep, thats where i was talking about. Depends how long the cables are I just attached everything to a metal wire (like a coat hanger) and ended up getting there from tweeters, and door holes.I think i will have a look at getting my amp in there too, i'm sure it's smaller than the Gen2 i had.Smart!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Smart was obv not at you mark I have a cable from the amp going to the doors, and then from the doors to the tweeter and speaker, Original plan was to mount them in the doors, but not liking that idea now,i dont want to rip the interior out again! is it just me or if you want to rip out the front trim you have to start at the back and take it all off!

pro3mark Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, seems like it wants to come forward, again, use a wire to poke the wire under the carpet, and then there is a hole under where the clutch resting pedal thing, and thats only held on by one screw.The comps do look awesome, are you sitting them under the grill?
