Put Thin MDF or Masonite behind the fabric and then screw through with very short screws.

I had my amp on my back seat before i went fiberglass. I just used 2in sheet metal screws to attach the amp to the seats. i was lucky because my amp lined up withe the metal braces in the seats. i also used 3/8in crome tubing cut into 1in sections to stand the amp off the seat so it would clear the plastic hook on the back of the seat

you're not afraid of people (read: robbers/scum) that could see the amp through the window?

I have my amp mounted in the storage space next to the spare tire area.



i mean, i know my amp is small and it fits in there perfectly, but maybe there is a way you can modify that area to fit a larger amp? it's just foam, i am sure you can cut into it / shave enough off to install the amp in there and make it pretty stealth.

fwiw,

Yeah, my amps are HUGE, no way would they fit down there. Thier honestly three of those amps put end to end. And I no longer have that space available becuse that is where my subs currently are using up.

it would be awesome to mount your amps on the headliner...


would they fit in the C-Pillar window? some small modifications and a lil fiberglass, you can tilt the amps and they'd look really nice

C-pillar windows are done, Justin is fiberglassing them for my components. I would LOVE to do the headliner thing, but that would require insane amounts of time.

It'd be a great opportunity to stiffen up the roof to build the frame to hang the amps and soundproof it all

it would be well worth the time to mount those insanely beautiful amps! get some green LEDs to light them up and it'll be one of a kind!
