Where to hide amp?

[Cal91]

This amp is a very small amp; it's a Vibe LiteBox stereo 2.

•Dimensions: H 50mm x W 210mm x D 135 mm

I want to put it under the passenger footwell, theres a panel under the glovebox and I was just wondering if it would fit there, or maybe behind the glovebox?

Plus will 71mm depth be too much for the front doorcards? I will be using MDF spacers.

Thanks.

Right above that panel is the heater box/fan and pollen filter so thats a no no.

Ahhh so thats the bugger making the noise lol!!!
I thought I'd broke and then it fixed itself :S

Anywhere else I can mount it? Is there a way to take out the glovebox?

Under a false floor in the boot...

But that requires me routing cables from the front to the back and then back to the front again. When if its say under the footwell, its quite simple. Where has everyone else put their amps?

Can anyone help me with the speaker depth too

how the f*** did u manage to get to the back of the stereo........dont u have to take apart the glove box etc?! i looked a fitting a sub.....but decided against it when i realised i couldnt get to the bk of the cd player........damn!

Not many places to have amp in the front.
what i done was run the power to the back of car and sealed amp inside sub box in boot and ran speaker wire up to the front when i had the carpet out anyway.wasnt any extra hassle.
all depends what you plan to run in the front???If its only high output components i wouldnt bother with an amp.i had my components unning off an amp and kept overloading them and blowing.just have sound in the boot now and sounds better when tuned...

Under the seats?

 

[stevemurphy]

tried that with mine but amp was too high to fit under the seat n scraped the face of the amp when i slide seat forward or back.
Maybe the vibe is small enough so may be worht a try!!!!

If you've got a 3dr Version Ibiza, how about the rear quarters, where the rear speakers are?

I'm pretty certain there might be just enough room. Only downside is the amp might get hot & i'm not sure if it might affect the amp being mounted vertically, rather than horizontally.

Go have a butchers & find out.

I thought about under the seats too, but the amp would be visable also to potential thiefs.

 

[Cal91]

I never thought about behind the rear quarters. Thanks for that.
I'd be able to amp the rears then too.

im got a small amp too, i tried fitting it in the rear quaters and couldnt get it too fit as its square and i was tryin 2 fit it into a triangular shaped hole lol. it has to be a dead small amp to fit in their mate, it is tight on both sides

I've got a new plan. I'm gonna put the amp in the glovebox. I'm going with a new amp now.

Thats the new plan, it should slide right into the glovebox
