Mounting an Amp... Anyone put an amp in the front? I don't want to run it into the back then double up front, due to interference. Im away from my car at the moment but I think it amy fit under the passenger seat. Its a smaller amp. Anyone have any other suggestions? I know we are rather limited space wise. Thanks,
John

So what would you all suggest? the amp is 2 inch high and like 6 inches long? Its a 2 channel, I got it because of the smaller footprint, I dont have room really anywhere.Will I get interferance running it all the way to the back and then bring the signal up front again? I dont have the keys to the car lol. My bro does, and doesnt know it.

i am confused why would the signal be brought back to the front?
i would honestly put it in the back, this way u do not have to worry about the amp getting wetom peoples feet or from when u leave the door open while its raining ( just getting in or out of course )
u also don't have to worry about anyoine kicking it that is sitting in the back.
if u want to replace the amp or adjust it, u are going to have to pull the seat out.
seems like too much trouble.
but please explain what u mean by bringing the signal back up front...

what u do is run your power wire and remote wire on the driver side of the car straight to the back.
unless u are rewiring each door, u will go behind the radio find the right wires for the speakers and butt connect either 16 gauge or 14 gauge ( i actually use 12 gauge but u don't have too ) to the existing speaker wires and run those to the back on the passenger side , also run your RCA cable with the speaker wires on the same side.
as long as u have the power wires seperate from the RCA's and speaker wires u should be fine.
also where ever it is u choose to ground, take a little bit of sand paper and sand down to the bare metal, this way u have a great ground. ( only where the ground connecter will touch, don't go overboard sanding alot )
if u do everything this way u should be noise free. :o)
