amp fitment

how do to all

im looking at fitting my sound system this week, was wondering if i installed my amp, and attached the amp to the parcelshelf underneath would this effect the workings of the amp.

i read somewhere installing them upside down effects amps in some way is this true.

cheers

It can cause the amp to overheat yeah, it affects convection.

if you have the space then a better idea would be to mount brackets to your shelf and 'hang' the amp underneath the shelf the correct way up.

yup not good to have it upside down as it will overheat.

i wouldnt hang it off the shelf unless you re enforce it 

stick it on the sidewalls in the boot

[sambo1670]

cool i can make some brackets up not a problem.  cheers fellas

[sambo1670]

i built myself an mdf stelth shelf mega strong enough to hold amp

cool i can make some brackets up not a problem.  cheers fellas

make sure you hang it at least a few cms from the shelf though yeah?

yer will do, i'll hopefully get amongst it this week.  is there anywhere along the bulkhead where i can bring the power lead from the battery into the car.

cheers

Been covered recently, but behind the glove box in the passenger footwell is a rubber bung where the main loom goes through.

Have a look from the engine bay side (trace the wiring from the battery) and you'll see it.

sweet, thought there'd be something like that.  best to ask on here first save me time looking for places.
