I've been brainstorming, and just wondering WHERE and HOW you mounted your amplifiers in a 2nd gen 4runner.

 

mmm https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f96/

 

Some people have put them under their seats....

 

i don't have a runner, but mine's on the side of the sub box.

 

who does that?




ok, it's in a PU, not a Runner... but still, it hides it nicely

 

my pics are in the Sound system in your 4urnner link but i put mine centered right on top of my box. it looks nice and doesnt take up any extra space.

 

You read my mind. That was my original idea, and looks perfect.
That section would've suited the topic better. Request a move?


I'm trying to fit a 15" x 10" amp in. I'm not sure there would be space in abundance down there.

 

That is one of my options, but is a 4 ch going to power two 6x9's and a sub. I'd rather have it elsewhere.

 

Good question, i'm not really too sure. i'm only running a 1000W amp on one 12" sub, soon to be 2 . i would imagine it wouldn't have a problem though, got any specs on the amp? kind, watts, etc.?

 

Next time you need a thread moved, hit the "! Next to your "online" thingy...

 

SLEEK. I'll measure out tomorrow, as a matter of fact.

 

You can check mine out here http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPF...ures_and_specs

 

Just out of curiosity does anyone tend to worry about the amp getting too hot under a seat like that? i know people who do it but has anyone had any problems? slick look though not gonna lie!

 

"You can also switch to 3-channel mode, then power a subwoofer with 300 watts RMS while the other two channels power a pair of full-range speakers."

That's straight from the Crutchfield product overview, so 2 6x9's and subs, it wouldn't think twice about it.

 

x 2!

 

..my main point of interest.

 

I have my 6 channel Phoenix Gold under the passenger seat and added 4 mini fans 2 front 2 rear of the the amp two rears push and two fronts pull the air to keep it VERY cool.
It is a bit of over kill but it has never failed me yet and after running for 5 1/2 hours straight(Southern Maryland to Yonkers New York 240 miles for a party with the Pope I will explain later) at more then half volume , I have a thing for loud like I am having my own concert levels and it was still cool to the touch.

 

i couldnt fit my amp under the seat of my p/u and left it on the floor in the back and some noob decided it was awesome to step and break my rca's

 

Ok not sure which post to start on here but I will start with the crutchfield comment - never ever ever go by anything they say!!! Second under the seat is ok except for a few things. Dust!!! And moisture!!! Your carpet is full of both through out the year. Rear quarter panel? Well that's ok again you have to deal with some dust but not a killer. On top of an enclosure? Vibrations can be harmful but usually ok untill someone see's it and wants it!!! I personally would make a spot out of mdf off to the side of the enclosure with it back firing. I could design it if you like. I usued to be an installer working with companies like mtx soundstream and image dynamics. Three elements to try hard to fight are heat dust and moisture. If the inside of your rig does not get over 115- don't worry about heat and remember the inside of your car can run as much as 20 degrees hotter than out side temps

 

Do explain..?
