I have an 04 Extended cab and would like some suggestions on where I can put my amp. My amp is a Sony Xplode 800 watts (I think) and is about medium size.

I was thinking about mounting it on the back wall behind the backseat but I'm already having problems with raising the seat to get the speaker box in and I heard that I would need to take the seat out completely to get the amp in. Does anyone know if this is true?

There is too much stuff under the front seats to put it there so that isn't an option.

I had my professionally installed & right where the center of the rear seat toward the middle is where they put mine my box is under the rear seat you still can lift the seat good luck richram

you will have to remove the seat to mount the amp behind it, if there is no more room under the rear seat put it under one of the front seats, the shorter the power wire the better it works anyways

So your amp is on top of the backseat, in the middle? Is it in a box or something to protect it?

Mine's undeer my driver side seat. There's a TON of room under there.

Mine are on the back wall of the cab.

mine are also on the back wall of the cab. click my car domain link to see pics.

That is an awsome setup you have Sportin83. I guess I'm going to have to take out the backseat to mount my amp on the back wall. I wish it could fit under the front seats.

Thanks for the replies!!!

I have my amp on my box. I built it myself and put an amp tray in the middle of it.

You can easily take out the back seat. You could also do a rather simple mod to make the back of the seat fold down as well. Would make it easier to get to the amp if u needed to.

and how would you go about modding the back seat to fold down?

how would you go about making the rear seat fold down, i was trying to firgure out a way to do that but never had a good idea to make the seat secure??

the link doesnt work. it says i am not logged in and i am not a member of that forum. do u have a link of a detailed mod of the backseat. can you copy and paste it here or pm me it or something? thanks alot

Theirs a few ways people did it, they basicly bodifies the hook on the back of the seat to make it shorter. If you have ever taken out your back seat you know what im talkin about. If you notice, when you lift the bottom of the seat, the back travels up with it, bit the hook is long enough so it dosent come out. What you do is cut down the hook a bit so that when you lift up the bottom a bit, the top will come out of the hook. Someone said they just lifted their rear seat about 1 1/2" and it did the same thing.

I would suggest you become a member over their...ALOT of good info and ideas.

Ok guys here is an update of what I did.

I did my 1st ever amp installation and mounted it on the back wall. Dang seat sucked to get out but I finally got it out. Anyways I hooked everthing up but found out that the stupid factory radio doesn't have those pre-amp hookups (don't know the exact name) so I guess it gives me an excuse to go buy a radio.

So know I'm riding around with my amp and suwoofers but can't listed to them until I get a new radio. Everything looks good though. My box fits great under the seat.

I'm going to look into cutting those hook thingies on the back seat so I can fold the seat down when needed.

that is a very simple mod, i would have never thought of that. i was thinking way to hard, like making some kind of latch with a release but didnt know how. thanks alot

LOL ya that what i was thinking. so, lengthwise, how much of the hooks do i cut off? and what should i use to cut them, preferably the easiest method? thanks.

not sure what to use yet. i want something that is not gonna throw sparks and not get to hot. i might try using a air body saw, but i dont know if it will cut that thick of metal. as for how much i dont know, but once i do this i will post what i did. i wont have time till like next monday or so but if any one else does this please update the rest of us and see how it all works. thanks
