anybody have pics of amps installed behind rear seat of extended cab of new body style without powersliding window?

 

only thing that is different is i have the power window, so you just wont have that little motor that it next to the mtx amp

 

Before i mounted my other amp and distro blocks to this side:

 

do the screws go all the way through the metal towards the bed?

 

No there are 2 layers of metal with about .75" gap between them, so the screws go through the first layer but not the second.

 

Does anyone know if I can mount an amp behind the seat of my '97 lariat?

 

 

Thats real nice! I have a JBL CROWN AMP too... it kicks ***, but imagine 3

 

Are you guys using the screws that come with the amp when installing directly onto the back wall (without using a board). I'm so scared that I'm going to poke a hole in the back wall.

 

I use 1/2" Selftaps.

 

Low I'm trying to decide if I want to mount the amp on the back wall or mount a piece of wood on the back wall than mount the amp. If I use wood, how thick or thin should it be and if I don't use wood will I run into any sound issues being that its on bare metal.

One other question. If I mount the amp higher than lower on that back wall will I have issues with my back seat going back and fit properly or will it stick out some.

 

I used a piece of 1/8" masonite board. You don't need much, just something to keep them in space.

 

Is there enough room for a cylinder style capacitor to fit behind the back seat?

 

if u mount amp high it needs to be below the crossbar on back of seat, look and u will see, i found also that i had to trim down the posts on my rear seat headrest, so it would go all the way back down,no big deal, i used 1/2" oak plywood, wrapped it with felt, the main thing for wood is so amp isnt mounted on metal, and so u can mount ur wires and distro blocks easily, i used all self tappers with a 5/16 head on them, i like those better bcause they dont strip out like phillips head, just a preference. i only used oak bcause the store had precut pieces for 6 dollars. the mdf, i could only get a whole sheet, it was 26 dollars. http://www.f150online.com/forums/mem...42-640x480.jpg

 

if its no deeper than 3".. prolly have to mount it up about 6" off floor, why bother with it though, wouldnt a second battery be better than a cap
