So I managed to install my JL sub and amp over the weekend. Install went smoothly.

I would like to hear from others who have mounted an amp in the trunk behind the back of the rear seat passenger side. How did you do it? did you just screw it in, or use any mounting hardware? What kind of screws... how long?

Any help with this is appreciated. I know there are wires running behind the rear seats so I don't want to screw into any of them.

what box did you use? I have my amp mounted on the top of the amp box, you could also do the sides or the back of it.

its the 4080/boxology box... so mounting on the box is not an option.

lift up the carpet and mount it in the spare tire well with double sided velcro, thats what i did with my rx300. Should be the same. If you ever did need the spare simply pull off the amp move to the side and remove the spare. Its clean and easy to access. Plus you wont have to screw anything.

You could also mount it right under where the stop sub is.

Mount it to a board and show it off inside like I did!

Thanks for the input guys but I'm very constrained by the length of the wiring. So I can either go on the roof of the trunk, or on the back of the seats.

I bought some Drill-X metal screws and plan on trying to screw it into the back of the seats. Wish me luck.

i got mines mounted to the back of the seat, no problems so far...

lol well theres your problem NEVER install anything short prior to mounting, always find a mounting spot and have the wires ran to them properly, anything 1 1/4 inch screw will do , just dont use wood screw please lol make sure its self tapping also so you dont need to make a pilot hole

I used the wiriing the previous owner of the set up used so everything was already cut. But yes, I will kow better for next time.

Question... I got the self tapping screws... Do I need to use a drill with them or can I just use an electric screwdriver???

this isnt as hard as your making it out to be.

get a drill and just drill it in. imo id mount the amp to the underside of the rear deck so its up and out of the way.

self tapping sheet metal screws. simple

I mounted mine on the deck lid and cut the "carpet" out around it

Sorry dude... This is the first time I've ever installed an amp, and drilled holes in my baby so I'm probably being a little over cautious....

Just trying to leverage the expertise here.
