Where
should I place my amplifier in my car? I will
just mention some of the most popular places for amplifiers and some install
basics. Never install
an amplifier upside down, it will over heat!
Under front
seats
Pros:
A favorite because
it has the best security of all others.
It's closer to the
battery.
Shorter power wiring.
Minimum voltage drop.
Cons:
Amp has to maintain
hotter operating temperatures because of less air flow.
Seat must be removed
during install.
Be aware of wiring
running under carpets and in tracks.
Glove box
Pros:
Very close to battery.
Cons:
Heat, wasted space.
Just not a good place
for an amp unless it is nessary.
Trunk
Pros:
Fair amount of security.
Ease of installation,
plenty of room to work.
Better cooling then
under seats.
Cons:
Small danger of damage
during trunk loading or unloading.
Long Power and RCA
wires. Higher loss of current due to resistance in the wire.
