What are the dimensions under the frs seats? Trying to figure out the largest size I can fit without taking off the seat to find out myself

I can't even fit my hand under the seats to check for stuff that falls down. I mounted my 5 channel amp under the trunk carpet panel.

There's only about 1 inch of height without modifying (cutting) the carpet ...the height is the biggest problem with under the seat mounting.

The amps I am considering are about 2 1/8 inches. I really want to put it there so I don't have to run as long of a power wire.

So, if I cut the carpet, would a 2.5 inch amp work? I have no problem cutting shit up under the seat... no one sees it anyways!

The jl 500/1 is:

Width (inches) 7-7/8
Height (inches) 2-1/8
Depth (inches) 7-11/16

Also, the amp is going to be at 4 ohms with 250-300 watts rms and it's class D so it shouldn't overheat under the seat.

Do you mean next to the spare tire? Or to the sides by the jack/tools?

I'll check next time I'm back there. Worse comes to worse, I'll run it to the back

Has anyone seen these amps? I was told they sound great and are powerful for their size.

You guys are tripping, there's so much room under the middle of my seats

I'm going to try and mount the amp there. I'll let u know what happens

I am getting an all in one loaded sub box with amp built in from Kicker. Model 11pecvr12 from kicker. Check it out. May be worth your while.

I fit a Alpine PDX-v9 under the passenger seat. 2" height. Had to cut out the foam under the carpet and raise the rear of the seat a bit.

Not tiny, but not OJ simpson xx-large lol.

There's about 3-4 inches of space, so a 2 inch amp will definitely fit. Any ideas of what can hold the amp in the foam under the seat? I'm thinking some kind of anchor like a drywall anchor.

Did you mount it rightside up to the floor? How did you raise the rear of the seat?

Kicker :/

I'm also not getting a large box. I have the JL 8" microsub, so an amp wouldn't fit on that.
