You can mount the amp to the box or to the back of the seat. whichever you like or think will be easiest. Also make sure you wire the subs properly to get the most out of them based on your amplifier capabilities. this will be a big help if your unsure. http://www.cardomain.com/shop/wooferwizard.pl umm that was kinda quick there so mighta left stuff out. if you need any other help just ask and ill help ya with what i can. __________________ New block with forged internals running 16psi, tuned by Lasota Racing Too many mods to list... 3.73's and Truetrac Finally Done!

i dont recomend mounting the amp to the box. i had an 1800 watt amp that a mounted on a box with 2 12's. after about a week the bass shook all the screws outta the amp and everytime i tightened em back up they would simply get shaken loose and the bass would go bye bye. basically, its just easier to mount to the back of the seat in the long run.

+1

make a flush mount panel for it so all you see is the top surface and no wires. this will look much better and more professional.
