Nope, nothing like that! Ive got a 500 watt amp to push a 10 in sub in a bandpass box that makes plenty of racket for me without waking up the neighbors. I want to hide the amp somewhere and have the audio cable come out where I can easily remove the box when I need to.
The amp wont fit under the seats.
chris,
unless you build a custom enclosure for the amp, your reall only option is to mount it to the back of the sub enclosure. you may be able to take off the rear cargo side panels and mount in in there given there is enough room and a secure mounting location.

that is also where they put the factory amp and woofer for premium sound systems in fords... if ur facing into the cargo area... they put it in the ride side panel....mayabe in the panel in the back where the jack is. my suv has a panel that removes and has the jack and tire iron in it.
if you moutn the amp behind the right rear cargo panel then all you will have to worry about disconnecting is the speaker leads to the woofers. which if it were me i would bridge the amp down to 1 channel and run the subs in series/ bu doing so youj will only have one set of speaker wires to disconnect...... below is a real shiddy diagram i jsut drew up for ya....
you use the positive from channel 1 and the negative from channel 2 to the positive and negative leads of sub 1. from there you basically run a jumper wire from sub 1 positive to sub 2 positive and from sub 1 negative to sub 2 negative.

countersink the amp into the back of the one rear seat.
this one is mounted on top...but if you cut out a hole just large enuf for the top 1/2 to stick out, then the wire can be routed out of sight towards the rear.

I remember my neighbors thinking I was nuts for having my entire interior out of my 2 month old truck for a week while I installed my system...no dash / seats / carpet / door panels ...nada. yes, it was fun.

hillard,
that is a good idea and does look good when done right. the only issue with that is the amp will still be in sight. id rather get my subs jacked that amp and subs.... as far is chris's application goes, his only real way to hide the amp without mounting it to the back of the woofer enclosure is to mount it behind the rear side panels in the cargo area of his bravada..... or you could always just build a false floor and mount the amp underneath of it....
Then I have to undo the power/ground/signal wire every time. This is what I am trying to avoid.i would mount it on the box then
Yep, thats the plan, just finding a location is the problem. Ill be on it hard this weekend, Ill let you know what I come up with. Thanks for the help.
