I'll be installing my MBQuarts and JL 300/4v2 this coming weekend along with some more RAAmat and Ensolite on the floors/doors. I still haven't been able to decide where I'll be mounting the 300/4. I don't like the idea of mounting it on a seat back, and haven't been able to decide another route I really like. I think the hatch/rear shelf limits the possibilities so I'm curious what my other TI guys are doing. Thanks guys. |  |  | | 02-19-2008, 02:30 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

I haven't put my system in yet but when I do my amp will be bolted to the floor in front of my sub, not the best option for trunk space though | | | | | 02-19-2008, 05:03 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 |
I have a slim truck box that fits perfect in the Ti. Well the back of it has the space where you could fit the amp it fits just right. I'll see if i can post a pic tomorrow. | | | | | 02-19-2008, 05:26 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
i hooked mine up and threw it in the back...i think it slides around in the corners...must be made by Timex...'cause it keeps on tickin'!
also, i think it's covered with a blanket and a box of new parts. lol __________________

i was planning on screwing mine to my box but to get to my spare tire i have to take my box out(its tooo big lol) so i decided to put it on the seat and now its much easier to undo the 2 speaker wires than the power,ground and remote wire. __________________

Hope this helps. | I've been having a hard time whether or not I have the balls to just rip out the spare/tools/etc. to build my box into the floor. Then I could just build a false floor to hide both amps. I've never needed the spare but I'm sure the day I take it out I'd get a flat in the rain. | | | | | 02-25-2008, 01:01 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

I have mine screwed to the back of my sub box. I think this is the better option because there is no need to put any holes in your car. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...m/DSC00456.jpg | | | | | 02-25-2008, 06:39 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 |
Mine is screwed and mounted onto the top of my subwoofer box. Leaves plenty of room, great ventilation, and easy access to it if I need to change something. __________________
