I have mine mounted on the transmission hump, underneath the center of the seat. It's a 6-channel, 20" long by 10" wide. I had to cut and re-weld the slider da kine you pull up to move the passenger seat back and forth, but it looks and works fine - you can't even tell it's been changed. The amp fits perfectly, I have all my legroom, and you can't even tell it's there. If you want pictures of it, let me know.

Thanks for all the replies. I dont think I have the skills or tools to start welding things under the seat or to mount on the ceiling. The bed was the best thing I could come up with. Im going to mess with it tonight and see what I come up with. Thanks again and keep posing ideas if you get any.

Hey illegal- If you have pics, post them or email them to me at erf@lancorps.net if it isnt a problem. Thanks.

Rhino, I sent you a pic, if you need more, I can take some from different angles. I can't figure out how to post a pic in the forums though, can someone help me with this?

Thanks bro, Ill check it when I get home from work.

Upload it to the photo galleries, and then right click on it, choose properties and copy the address in the pop up box. Then when posting use the img button above where you post to paste the address in. After you hit OK, you will notice that it will put that address in the message with a img in the front and an /img after it. That will allow it to automatically appear in the post. Give it a try and if you are unsuccessful, I'll do it tonight.

I've had this setup for 21/2 years now with no problems. The rack is set up with 6" of space underneath for longer items. The sides bolt to the stock hanger locations, and the wires run out the front through the grommets. The amps are grounded to the frame. I've got a big Radio Shack fan hooked up to run when the amps are on. I think it's rated at 250+ cfm, but you only hear it if you open the bed. I was nervous at first about the heat, but it survived two years in San Antonio, and now in Alabama, and never skipped a beat. I keep saying I'm going to carpet it, but since it hasn't happened yet, I doubt it ever will.

That's pretty trick.
