Let's see those Amps and where you mounted them!!

Amp rack under drivers seat. Front pic and rear pic

 

So its sandwhiched ? Im looking to mount mine on the larger storage bin. Ill be mounting the amp on a 1/2” hdpe sheet. Not sure how to mount the rack to the storage bin though

 

Well actually that was a guess,lol. I had an audio shop mount it so,not really sure.

 

lmao. Yea im probably gonna sandwhich the plastic of the storage bin

 

Upgraded my amp and a few other things recently. Used to have a JL HD 900/5 which is a great amp. Upgraded to a JL VX 1000/5i which has been fantastic! Pretty much used the same mounting as the old set up with a few new tweaks

I added some blue led lights to the amp and a door switch to turn them off when the seat is up



Bluetooth dongle to access amp settings. There are no physical dials or knobs to tune the amp. LAN cable to a computer or Bluetooth to a device running JL TuN app. Took me a while to figure the app out


JL DRC amp remote which I mounted in a factory switch cover. Inner dial is master volume, outer dial is sub volume





JL power distribution block running battery power to the amp, cap, and LEDs



One last thing to do is make some sort of cover to hide all the wires in the bottom of the amp.

Thanks for looking!

 

Very nice! Can you provide link to the door switch you used?

 

Looks clean. Are those 2 10s or 8s? I’m about to do 2 10s, but I opted for an enclosure that maximize the space. Had to take out the bins and the enclosure takes up the entire behind seat space. So amp will likely need to go under my driver seat.

 

Should be 2 10's (JL's stealth box)

IF you are attempting under the driver seat, measure a bunch. I have a JL 900/5 going in and I had everything mounted up only to find out the seat was hitting the amp (I didn't have it centered) but also there's a odd hump under the driver seat preventing it to move over ever so slightly to where I needed it to go. I have seat jackers and the taco tunes amp rack I'm going to see if I can make it all work the right way since my wiring and all that was done (I know my fault) before having to figure out extending wires if need be since I'm not going to run all new wires again. It is tight under the seat, not that I think the amp puts off enough heat to worry, but only having 1/2" or less of air space under there seems like not a lot.

If you do go taco tunes, I haven't opened the box yet but it all came quickly and without fuss (as of 7/22/25)

That was a task in a half.
