Mount pics of BS3 or XFi box(s)? I was wondering if people could post up some pics of how you mounted your Xfi or BS3 boxes. I am wanting to mount it inside the cabin of the car, but I would prefer it to be accesible as well.
Show me what you got!

I would like to see as well. I have BS3 and it's just sitting in the floor board until I get all the wiring done and issues worked out. Is it a race car or full interior street car? I think the center hump behind the radio is a good place too. BS3 somes with a lot of excess wiring so where you go through the firewall makes a difference too.

Not the best pics but I didnt want to see the thing in the car so i put it up under the dash on the HVAC blockoff plate, you could easily get to it by taking the glove compartment door off. I didnt have any reason to make it easily accessible, once its installed you never have to do anything with the box itself.

Great ideas so far!
Mine is a XFi, so i have 2 boxes to deal with. I can't mount it against the HVAC plate because my A2w will be mounted there(would have been the perfect spot though).
The dash is gutted, no stereo or HVAC stuff left, so I could stick it back there.
However, I was thinking of mounting it in the area where the stereo face used to be somehow. I'd like for it to be visible and accesible, without looking like a hack job if that makes any sense?
I'm kind of stuck here....I was also thinking of a plate agains the rollcage, and mounting to that. Anything other places you guys can think of?

The plate against the cage is pretty standard for race cars, you can make it out of aluminum or lexan. The XFI is a little more of a challenge, you could make a plate and mount it where the glovebox door is and recess it into the dash a little so its not sticking out.
