My factory Sub blew today...

[BlueTahoe2001]

Well, My factory subs life has come to an end...






Time for a new setup! Excuse to blow some more money! Think I might go with a POLK Sub back in the factory location and a Kicker Amp...

Would it effect the amp if I build a metal frame for the amp to mount to? As in would it ground it so it would not work?

What I did was I mounted the amp right to the sub box. On the right hand side (towards the wheel arch) It fit perfectly under the big plastic panel. No trimming or anything.

I would prefer NOT to mount the amp directly to metal... it does form a ground loop.

Shouldn;t be that hard though to isolate it electrically, even if that means a masonite board mounted to the rack and the amp mounted to the masonite. assuming you have a metal amprack,

Yeah that sounds better then what I was going to do. Then I will build a frame to bolt to the seat frame and then bolt or screw some 3/4 MDF down to it and then mount my amp.

the ghetto fabulous (but very effective) way to do it is 1/4" ply under the carpet with t nut inserts. Just make a small incision and bolt the amp thru the carpet.

this is how they installed the PS2 that used to be under the seat in the Hoe b4 I bought it.
