What do you guys think?....planning an install

[christophbmw]

ok im planning a new install on my 318is and im gonna mount my two amps behind the rear seat, im going to make a custom plywood back to mount them on and use carpet to make make it look stock. anyways i cant decid on how to mount the amps, i dont want them to clos because i dont want interference. which layout looks the collest to you guys:

layout #1:

note: the two rear speaker crossovers are in the center with my 4 channel amp on the left and my mono/sub amp on the right (all wires will be concealed.

or layout #2:

note: the crossovers are on the top, same amp layout, also: do they look far enough apart as to not crweat interference?

this is how my old install used to look on the rear dash:

....it will look simalar to this but it will be in the trunk. the wires will be concealed in the same way (going thru holes). what do you guys think?

I like layout 1, layout 2 your shit get jacked for sure LOL. well at least here in SF, CA.

Do layout 1, but mount your amps so that the heatsink fins run vertical for better cooling.

#1, but make it so that the crossovers? if thats what they are. make them face eachother, that way your wires will be easier to manage behind that board.

....i have two radioshack 12v fans to cool it. im going to mount them on the roof of my trunk so you cant see them. ill post pics when im done.

Layout 2 = STEAL ME!!!!!!!
Layout 1 = better of the 2. I prefer that one.
I will be doing a new box here soon. Almost just like Jordan's, but not EXACTLY the same. But same basic ideer.

It seems like everybody thinks the second option is to install it on the dash, you need to fix the pic for option #2, take out the backslash in the first "[img]".

ok gotcha. Checked out the "new" second layout. I say I like the 2nd one better with the xovers both on top. Its a little different, but still resembles layout 1. I vote layout 2.
