Best place for and AMP in the VE Wagon??

[Wheatley098]

Just put an Amp in the car and all is well, NOw for a good place to mount it as I havn't owned a wagon before and am clueless to the idea's as to where it can go haha!

Under passenger seat.

Why'd you install an amp without finding a place to mount it? Cause now you've got to uninstall it. But yea under the passenger seat like Tas said.

On the steering wheel!
(or under the passenger seat, because it is the ONLY spot as it gives easy access to the centre console or side of the car for running cables. You can custom mount an amp anywhere to display it... but the only logical place is under the seat. Dont overthink it mate).

Can confirm. Passenger seat is where it's at.

@jr_ in regards to my question re. LOC. Would an amp with high level inputs achieve a similar if not same/better than a LOC?

Also, is that amp just anchered to the carpet?

if you have an amp with high level inputs, try that over buying a LOC, and money saved can be put towards a better speakers, amp, wiring or even sound deadening.
you could run the high level / speaker outputs behind the HU to the passengers side, then down the centre console on passengers side and into amp.
I've got an RCA doing this from LOC behind HU, to amp, as mentioned, only 1m - seems a nice short route to amp.
(fyi: my amp is only a little 2 x 50w powering the 2 front speakers, so if you're getting a 4 channel, you may want to double check total height, width, depth of amp - but there is plenty of room under the seats)

Also, is that amp just anchered to the carpet?

yep, with velco!
after much reading on JC, the consensus seemed to be velco is the way to go.
user the Hook, no the Loop side of the velco - to stick to the carpet.
you should be able to pick this up from any number of shops; hardware or craft stores
(my work is between a Bunnings, Masters and a Spotlight - Masters was the shortest walk so I got something like this: http://tinyurl.com/l5uxwwz)
