- 2003 VY Berlina with Calais Bits
Hi guys.
I have a VY Berlina (see my ride for pics).. And i wanted to run a sub using stock head unit. I needed to get a line level converter, if i wanted to keep stock HU. Is a mod worth doing my self, as it saved me spending $100..
Now the main issue i had was location of mounting my amp. Its a Powervox 2900watt amp (ebay special, but has served me and mates well in the past), its 45cm x 25cm approx. So it is hard to find a suitable mounting spot, as i would of liked to mount on the back of rear seats, yet i needed to be able to fold the middle seat down and be able to put my skis threw it, so couldnt obstruct that area much
So i decided on putting/mounting the amp upside down on the under side of the parcel shelf, YES i do know this is supposedly bad, yet i haven't heard/read any reports of it being a issue. The amp has 2 heat dispersers on each sides, running the full length, about 1-2cm deep. It also has heat dispersers on the top, 6 long parallel lines, about 5mm wide and deep.
If a Full write up, 'How To', is wanted. Let me know and ill post it up in the best detail i can with pics.
Cheers
Luke
