Ok so my amp slides around in my trunk i'm thinking of bolting it down on the rear seat ahtat folds down. my problem is idk if there is anything behind that carpet that will actually hold it. my amp is a Audiobahn HCT1300 or something like that. it weights a little. anyone know if i can do that?

[TheUNZippee!]

Use 3/4" black metal screws. There is metal underneath that carpet.

Also, if you have a sub box, you can also mount it to that.

[Bies08]

well yeah i gotta sub box but my RCA's and power wire isn't long enough to get it there. i thoguht bout htat but then i'd have to move my box into my back seat and i dont want to do that.

[Bies08]

is the whole thing metal or just a certain part?

[TheUNZippee!]

I am pretty sure the entire back is metal. You can tell just by knocking your knuckles against it. Gently; don't go breaking your fist just cause' of me. lol

[Bies08]

haha i already knocked on it...it sounded like something was back there but i wasn't real sure what it was..haha....anyone have any idea how to pretty much melt my RCA's back together. because the part that actually goes into the amp...came apart from the wire and the rubber piece that goes on the outside???

you understand waht im saying?

[TheUNZippee!]

Why not just go by a new, longer RCA cable, and then mount the amp on the box?

[Bies08]

then i need a new power wire.....damn to get them RCA's its a pain in the ass....i gotta take the whole cd player out then....well maybe....im wondering if i can pop the part by the shifter off....and reach up and plug them in??? would that work or not?

[TheUNZippee!]

If you can get your hand in there, yes. You not have the keys to pull the deck out?

Another option is to go to an installer in your area, have him repair the end on that RCA, and buy a short extension RCA, and then mount it on your box.

[Bies08]

hmm.......your almost talking me into it....idk...haha could i melt the plastic rubber around it onto the part that goes into the amp...i know its not the right way..but would it work?

[TheUNZippee!]

I don't know. I've never attempted to repair an RCA cable.

[Bies08]

you think it'd work??? or just be a waste of time and just ruin the whole cable?

[TheUNZippee!]

It's possible you could wreck the cable, yes. But, as I say I've never tried to repair one, I've always just replaced them.

[Pharoh]

rca cables are just two wires i splice into them all the time just buy some new ones or find some old ones that your not using cut and twist wrap with electrical tape it will be fine make sure its a good connection so as not to loose quaility

[TheUNZippee!]

Hey Pharoh, ltns man. How's things?

[Bies08]

aight soo i cut them but it sitll didnt work. i used like rca's going from a tv. i didnt think about using stereo ones but i have a set laying around. will the tv ones not work or what?

[scubasteve041186]

yeah you can mount back there i got two amps/ one on each seat just make sure there is enough clearence when you shut the seat.. aka dont put it up too high on the seat or the seat won't close

[mikethetigerrr]

ive got my amp mounting directly in the center of both and my cap next to it.

seat only comes down as a whole but its strong enough to hold just about any amp. and theres no way its metal in the seat cuz i deff used a hand held phillips head screw driver.

i used velcro on mine. works like a charm
