if your sub enclosure is properly secured to the vehicle like its supposed to be, you wont have an issue mounting the amp to it. IF you box isnt secured down, i suggest you get on that before you get into an accident and it becomes a missle to the back of your head and your head goes "pop!". Velcro is not properly securing a box down by the way.

bolting that sucker down is the only sure fire way. Even that though isnt 100% reliable. Ive seen a spare tire in a lancer rally edition that was bolted in the stock location (in the trunk) fly through the rear seats and hit the back of the drivers seat - breaking the drivers shoulder blade during a head on collision. Just drill a hole through the floor of your blazer and run some long bolts and fender washers into the box.

In my blazer, since the rear seat is gone, I used the stock seat bolts to secure the enclosure with custom brackets.

wow that couldnt be further from the truth. lol. Component speakers are and always will be far superior to coaxial speakers. having tweeters in front of your midrange (like a coaxial) blocks the sound waves and hinders the performance of the speaker.

Im glad you are happy with it. That is always the end result we all shoot for. BUT, just because YOU like it, doesnt mean that it is better than anything else out there. That also doesnt mean that coaxials are better than components like you said earlier. You cant base a statement as bold as that on your opinion. Please keep this in mind if you are going to try and offer your "advice" ;)

Tippman, please do not "attempt" to give educated advice without first having the education. There are plenty of experienced and certified 12 volt professionals here that can give correct responses to the pertaining questions....Im not trying to be rude, but you keep giving bad advice...

ya, since that pic i cut another one of the zip ties. It was just a direct swap from my alpine which had all the connections together.

and thats not the only reason comps are better. crossovers??? flexibility....and generally a better mid.

but to most people, that are not audioholics, probably could care less. which is why speakers are fine for them.
I dont see why everyone has to be like that when someone states their opinions.

as far as i know pat is the only pro here......so should he answer every single question or what?

I bet those eclpise coax's sound better than my JL comps.

*my box is bolted to the child seat hooks in the cargo area.*

If you do end up mounting it to the box I suggest using like a rubber grommet or similar on the 4 corners to absorb the shock.......I should get around to doing this.

hmmm, i see....you still have 2 sides of the box as well......and those flap things on the back of the seats.

you want to have some breathing room for them, they get hot!

and its nice theres a good ground right there (under the seat), and all the wires pop out from under the back seat. It works out well, and it should look clean.
