Where do I put the amp?

[Simek4life 10+ year member]

Alright so i just got my new HU, amp, components, and coaxials. I was wondering where a good place to put the amp would be. I have a '99 4 runner. The amp is the kicker ZX 850.4 so it is NOT a small amp. Also it says it has to have 4 " of space for ventalation. Where could i put this to acheive this amount of space. Amp rack? Thankx

Put it on top of the dash. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

No, most people put them in the cargo area of an SUV. I'd personally make some form of rack that goes to the side so that you can still haul stuff.

alright thats what i was thinking, what do u make the rack out of that would look attractive, plexi glass??

Well the most common would be made out of MDF covered in leather or carpet that matched your car. Plexi looks nice but is a pain to work with and it scratches easily...so it doesn't often look great for long.
