Folks,

I am installing a amp sub package on a 2004 Quad cab this weekend and I am having some issues on Amp placement. I would like to install the amp on the wall behind the rear seat (which i saw on this forum), but the amp extends over the black vents located behind the rear seats. My question is, can I remove one of the black vents without causing any problems to the truck. The amp is too big to go anywhere else...Here is a link to the amp:

The amp will not fit under the seats due to the size. Also, the box is a custom box which extends across the entire bottom of the rear seats. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Are sure it want go under a front seat?

 

I am 99% sure...I am going to see if maybe I can remove the seat and then get it to fit, but the amp is 22" long and 12" wide and 2.5" thick....

 

You might have to get you smaller amp.

 

I'm afraid that might be true, but I'm sure gonna try to put it somewhere...

 

I have the same type of box and also am looking at an larger amp dimension wise, I just raised my backseat a few inches and with the added clearance I can install the amp between the subs on the box under the back bench.

 

How did you raise the backseat?

 

See my photo gallery or the interior modifications forum. Of note though, I did this knowing that I don't often have backseat passengers and mainly for the added clearance as I'm not sure to what kind of load handling the results may have now, in case of an accident.

 

I checked out those pics but I still not quite sure how you did that? Can you give me a little description if you have time.

 

Well, in my '05 Ram, the back seat bench has a bracket that is connected to the underside of the seat then to the actual truck itself. I just took the bolts holding the bracket to the truck out and lifted the entire seat and replaced the factory bolt with a much longer one, and filled the space created with the washers. Very simple to do, but would be nice to have a buddy to help you, as the backseat is a little heavy and cumbersome to be handling single-handedly.
