Simple Explorer Install

[dkmesa 10+ year member]

Let me know what you guys think. I installed this for a friend...sold him my Type-R and it sounds great. I did it in the cold and cut my hand up so it was pretty miserable, but I think it turned out well. I will smooth out the edges and carpet it next week

Does look nice. Only thing that might be a problem is that since its tall and skinny, when he accelerates it might fall forward. But itll prob bew fine, good job.

maybe mount the amp lower on the box so it helps keep it upright? if the box cant be layed down and the amp mounted another way

Yeah, I thought about that after I got it all installed. He is young and his dad told him it couldn't take up much space so I made it as small as I could.

I told him I would mount it when I put the carpet on. I will probably just run a strap from the back of the box to under the back seat

I love installing in fords..its pie. As others have said, under hard acceleration, it will fall over, as mine has done a few times. Looks good though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you don't have anything to worry about with that beefy box...should sound sweet. He's just saying the box will tip if he takes off to fast because the box I made him is shallow

I would worry about the box sliding back and pulling the amp's wires far before I'd worry about the box falling over.

yeah. i am not going to bolt this box down. there are these plastic mats you put down on carpet for roll chairs. there has spikes on the bottom. i was just going to cut one of those of and glue it to the bottom of the box to prevent any sliding.

there is no such thing as hard acceleration in explorers like that (with the 4.0 anyways)
