GT factory amp?
 
does the GT model have a factory amp in the trunk??i kno the US FR-S does but i havent been able to find mine in the trunk. Is it only the GTS that comes with it?

no amp for aust models....

Spare tyre area... or pull a foam piece out... mount to back seat or back/side of sub box...

once you get your 86 you will find a way ...

I actually want to buy another amp... a smaller one :(

If its a small amp you could find fit it under the seat. But I think putting it where the foam things are in the boot works best.

cool thanks...gonna try under the spare tyre...i thought it was a full size alloy for the spare..but turns out to be some cheapo steel rim...

GTS has an alloy, GT is a steel rim

Not anymore, they don't.

Here's how I mounted my amp (This photo was before the rack was powder coated black):

3mm Steel mounting on the the thread screw ends that are there from factory.Plenty of space for the cables to run out from under it.

even a small one wont fit under the seat i dont think... i did try soft fitting one underneath there (without unbolting the seat) even with the seat lifted as much as possible and no go.

I've got my processor sitting under the passenger seat. So yea, it would have to be a pretty damn small amp. I'm just throwing around ideas.

I've got my amps flush mounted in the boot like so...

Hi sir i have the same problem. I already got my amp and sub.
Do you still have any link for a guide on how i can hook my amp by chance?

Been searching all over and i haven't had any luck so far.
Cheers mate.
