Safe Stereo Amp Mounting Spot?

[Banjer Picker]

For the guys that spend a lot of time on the trail, where are you mounting your stereo amp to minimize exposure to water and heat?

Under the passenger seat seems like it would get fried the first time it rains on the trail or when you wash the 10 pounds of sand out after an event.

Under the dash seems too exposed to engine heat.

Would love any feedback or pictures.

Thank you,

Brandon

I use an Alpine class D amp 40wx4. It's very small, fits in the glove box.

Do you have a rear seat, if so maybe on the bottom of that? My plan is to mount mine on the inside of some rear quarter panels

I have mine under the passenger front seat. I have spacers under it to where any water that gets in the floor would go under it and out a small drain hole.

Put it where the rear view mirror goes...tell everybody it's a new totally essential part of a highly developed race radio system....you will be all the buzz at OCBR...lol....look forward to seeing u guys again this year OCBR

I have all my seats mounted to my roll cage. The amp is mounted to the roll cage below the rear seat.

I mounted my amps in my center console in two of my broncos. There are some really nice all amps out there that pack a punch - both of these amps are driving the four main speakers.. not for a sub. I would think you could make a little holder for a sub amp under the back seat to keep it off the floor and away from the sides/weather if its stockish.

One of my broncos I wash out with a hose a few times a year and I have never had an issue with water getting into the center console. Heat hasn't been a issue either but you can always open the console for a bit to let it air out

Thank you for the feedback guys. No back seat so that's no option. Corbeau Baja seats up front so it's difficult to bottom of that. Not runnin a console right now either but that sounds like a good option.

May try JWs route.

Thanks again gang!

I should add that the one I have came from the Crawl Tunes guys that are on this site. I think it's meant to survive the offroad elements. Hang on a short few weeks and you see it see it in person...I'll even furnish you a Yuengling while you look.

I've put a small amp in a zip lock bag, and tucked it in the dash. Never had any issues with it. Simplest way to go with the small compact amps they have today.
