I have a pic of mine but I cant figure how to upload it onto here, (cobra 29 dale jr edition) Its nothing special. Im getting an amp soon and unsure of where I would mount it. Problay get a fat boy 350 or 500 watt amp. Just wondering if anyone has a pic of their set-up, with an amp or not, doesnt matter.

there's not a lot of space for a full-size chassis in the cab, from what i can see of my wife's 06 T4R. i think people have tried to fit things into that little fold-out cabinet thing under the radio, but it's really shallow. if you have a small radio, you have more options.

for my wife's SS3900GHP, all i could think of was mounting it vertically on the passenger's side of the trans hump to the plastic.

we never use the passenger seat anyway, since one of us is always riding in the back seat with our son. mercifully, the 4th gen has waaaay more space in the rear seat than the 3rd gen, so squeezing around his child seat in the center position isn't quite so squishy.

as far as amps go, i would probably mount it in the cargo area, as far away from the ecu/computers and your bodies as possible. you can always add a remote turn on, or fab up one yourself with some extra wire so you can turn it on and off from the driver's seat.

yea, mine is mounted vertical on the drivers side (cobra 29) ( not much room for the seat to slide up, but Im tall so I usually have it almost all the way back) I have thought about either taking out the center consol and put an amp in there and I have also thought of mounting it in the trunk. All I need now is some $ and a free day to work on the install.
