Default Under front seats, perfect spot for my amps....

I decided on a whim to remove my underseat subwoofer enclosures and see if my amplifiers would fit under the front seats instead. I got a sponsorship from Elevation Audio, so I was getting rid of the 8"s under the seat for a single 15" Execution in the back. Right now the sub is just in a prefab box until I figure out how I want the install to go with it. But I was amazed to see that under the seat was an absolute perfect fit for my Elevation Audio amplifiers!

The Elevation Audio DX200.2 under the driver seat :


The Elevation Audio DX1000.1 under the passenger seat, along with the distribution block :


The 15" Execution in the rear. This subwoofer is absolutely ridiculous!


The fit of the amplifiers was incredible. It was a perfect snug fit, there is no way the amplifiers could even slide around, absolute perfect fit. Out of site, and lots of room to breathe!

quick question.. i see what looks like a fuse holder by that amp? please tell me you have one up under the hood by the battery... i've seen too many cars get messed up by having a fuse holder by the amp and not up under the hood where it is supposed to be

It's a distribution block. I've been doing car audio for 10 years now, I wouldn't go without proper fusing.

ok just making sure lol.. i couldn't see the 2 wires coming out from that pic so i thought it was the inline fuse holder.. i actually had a car come to my shop the other day that said the amp kit we sold him was bad and he wanted his money back and for us to pay for the $500 worth of wiring damages... his fuse holder didn't "work" i looked.. and he had put it in the trunk by the amp.. and had wiring going around the door jamb and around the hood hinges lol

Thanks.

just make sure wherever you bolt it to is clean of any dirt & paint and make sure the ring terminal doesn't move

Is there room under the rear seats? I know I can go out in the garage and look, I was just wondering if anyone has done it.
