Mounting amps, subs etc in a wagon can be a pain.

I'm running slim subs under both my front seats so they're out of the way. They have copped a slight kick here and there but its all good. JDM Legacy's had subs built into one of the storage compartments in the rear cargo space (probably Foresters too). AUDM missed out on so much...

Morgs that grill looks brilliant. Aim for that! (minus the STi badge )

Audm SG Foresters had those subs as an option on XS and XT's when you ordered the premium sound package. A mate of mine ticked that box when he bought his XS. He's a muso, so a decent system was important to him. It sounded pretty good too for a factory set up.

Wow! That's really wedged in there isn't it! Nice find Morgan

RX25SE - when you booking flights to come to NSW for the Mechs and Techs day?

Haha don't temp me!


It would need to be cleared by she who bore my children.

Hey Walts, you still see Russ around? He used to own that Gen2 maroon Heritage wagon

I remember him from OzLibfail.

@Morgan. My xt has a sub built in. It's not bad.

Under the seat

-Out of the way
-Harder to install
-Harder to adjust settings
-Gets in the way of feet AC vents
-Passengers kick it


In the cargo area

-Right there in the way of everything you do
-Has to be screwed into something so it doesn't jump around = unnecessary holes (that's what she said) in sub casing/rear seats/interior panels
-Pain in dat ass when you need to take everything out of the cargo area to load it up (the reason we buy wagons)
-Easy installation
-Easy to adjust settings


Mine is currently in the cargo area too.

What about under the seat, attached to the seat and moves with the seat?
This way it will be out of sight and wont get kicked by rear seat passengers.


I always thought amps were set and forget.

Thoughts on this are the same as Jase, i havent touched the controls on my amp since I installed it in my last wagon. So thats a non issue. Under the seat is out of the way and no cables.

But also, in wagon area, i did this:

Amp mounted


And I was sick of my sub and amp sliding around in the boot. And I NEVER screw things in my car if i can avoid it.

So i made hooks that the amp is attached to and then hooks under the carpet board in the cargo area!




Has held for years!

Works good, but im sick of it being in the way, so I want a small one that will be mounted stealf in the cargo bay, or under the seat!


Edit: LOL, BO$$

Walts, is chicky #2 in that pic topless? I can't see straps from her bikini top and I am not seeing much in the way of material around the boobage.

@AMS I'll let you know if I can make it to the Moon tomorrow after work. Boss didn't go into work today, so I'm going to be filtering on my own tomorrow instead of brewing. Hopefully it goes through quickly like the last one did. I do have to drop some beer off at the cafe in Kings Park on my way out though.

No, but it looks like something I could use in my life, if it doesn't cost much more than solder/heatshrink. Which I have a lot of around the garage atm.
