Where to Put Amplifiers?

[Nitrox]

Hey all,

Bought a 2002 S model a short while ago and I really want to upgrade the audio system. I have an Alpine head unit (7995 - no amp) and an a/d/s component set for the front. The amp that I have is a larger Coustic 4-channel. As far as I can tell it is too big to be hidden anywhere except for under a false floor in the trunk/boot but I would like to avoid getting into that depth of install.

Alternatively I have been looking at some 2-channel amps from Audison and Boston Acoustics that have a small footprint with the idea of putting them under the front seats but there seems to be some cross bar under there that moves with the seats that could interfere.

Any thoughts or suggestions on where a couple of smaller amps could be hidden or what I could do with this 4-channel that I already have? Thanks...

I would put it on the foor and create a false one ontop, plus the battery is just below easy to run power cable.

I'm still deciding to put in my 300/4 JL slash amp

Thanks folks,

Those amps that are installed under the seats, did they cut out a patch of carpet to recess them like that?

Yes
