i took mine out of my coillies. still out now but av still got thread left. it will only sit on the bumpstops, and just wont move. unless you cut the bump stops down a little bit. good work on the car though. gotta love a slammed car

Nah theres plenty of room well................ aha

Well the amp is now under the false floor so that helped hold it down and also got a 1 meter length of heavy duty velcro as i wanted it to hold down but also be removable and it seems to work a treat  :smiley:

Ill take some photos for you when i next turn the amp up if you want?
