[Mk2] [Generic] Frunk Amp mounting

Post by Caribbean_Blue »

It has now got to the point where I can install my 2 subs and amp. The amp I wish to mount as professionally as possible in the frunk.

Any pics of peoples installs etc etc and any guidance will be greatly appretiated.

Is there a template of an amp rack as such anywhere?

What wood did you use? Where have you sat your 'amp rack' etc?

Thanks

I tried a boot install but had heat problems and the protection kept kicking in. I've mounted the 2 mono amps on the back wall inside the car and made custom boxes that fit behind the seats. I also cut out the boxes that were behind the seats and mounted the 3rd amp under the bonnet with the 3 power caps.

Sorry not got pics of mine atm

Yea does look good ;)

Prob is it's all looks and not much use. The amps will over heat when in real use and also he needs to make a cover for the perspex so it don't get damaged.

It belongs to this car

Cool idea on the frunk mount.

Personally I would make it into a box so that only the actual units showed rather than all the wires as well.

Dan -> Does that install make it an utter pain in the ar$e to get the spare wheel out? I've got a frunk install (pic in my garage) that I did myself based on the stephenmason.com link, but I made sure I can get it out quite easily to get to the spare and the battery etc... Problem is with 2 amps, a 2 farad power cap, fuse holder and distribution block it's quite heavy :)

Thats similar to what i've done for mine, albeit i've not bothered trimming it as nice. Just a thick sheet of ply with some aluminium inserts on the base which slot into the moonroof slots. Removed the plastic cover to show the frame, 3 clips in various points keeps it all held down nicely but can pull out the way when i need access to the wheel / battery. Also means i could install 2 amps - 1 on top and 1 underneath with room to spare!
