[QUOTE="SSS 18734, post: 6235672, member: 559710"] So the front stage is more or less complete, minus the fine-tuning. I probably won't be able to get the subwoofer, whatever it may be, chosen and installed before school starts, so my goals for the next week are to finish mounting the amplifiers, install the new batteries, and get a temporary sub in. My original plan was to mount the JBL's under the seat, with the sub box over it. The subwoofer amplifiers would just be mounted on the box itself. But the more I tried to figure it out how to mount the C&D and the two amps on top of the seat, the more I realized it wasn't feasible. So I re-did the amp rack to fit all four amps underneath the seat. The C&D will also be mounted underneath the seat that can actually still be used! However, in order to do this, I will need to raise the seat about two inches. A kit costs about $140. Forget that! So now I am trying my hand at lifting my seat on my own... it's a pain in the ass! [B]If anyone has any good, cheap solutions on how to do this, please let me know![/B] As of right now I'm planning on using MDF brackets reinforced with washers, along with thick bolts mounted in the seating supports. My new C&D, courtesy of basscourt2009. Super-fast shipping. [IMG]http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/tt233/sss18734/F-150%20Build/DSC04461.jpg[/IMG] The new amp rack - Painted for now.
