MrSkippyJ Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Until the first time hits his brakes hard and the amp goes flying and he blames second skin saying they told him it would be ok. 1 Quote F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 It will be under his seat right? Doubt it will go anywhere if he uses 2 part epoxy. Will probably have to rip up the damp pro with the mount if he ever takes it out 1 Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

MrSkippyJ Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) I'm not worried about the epoxy, even though it's thick foil it's still foil. You can pretty easily cut that shit with a box cutter. The foil can very possibly tear. It would have to pull away from the butyl andhesice stuff too but it's just a bad idea. And what's the point? Why not just mount them the normal way, I must have missed this somewhere. I do agree with you though, it probably won't go anywhere. Just seems like a dumb idea.

06RTCharger Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 No way in hell I would trust that. You mean no screws to actually mount the spacers right? Yes no screws for that amp under the front seat. I dont think i need extreme strength to stop an amp from moving around under a seat. Im not a racer or a drifter lol. There shouldnt be much force moving an amp thats layed flat on the floor of the car. If i get in some kind of an accident, i dont think id be worried about an amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im very new to this. Reason for me not using screws is im too worried about screwing into the floor where i cant tell whats under it. I looked under the car and theres stuff there but what is it? Idk lol it all just looks like metal to me, i cant tell whats what under the car, only thing i can identify under there is the exhaust pipes. So i started looking for alternative techniques to mount an amp to the floor and be secure. Thats where the epoxy idea came about. I could just epoxy the bracket to the metal body, but "if" i ever decide to take that amp and mount out, i think it would be harder if it was epoxied to the actual metal. With the damplifier i could just cut out the exact shape under the bracket, and rip up the damplifer, up comes the damp and bracket..... Then just cut a new peice of damp and lay it in there...good as new. Seems reasonable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 What seems reasonable is if you dont have the skills to install stuff to let someone else do it, not come up with crazy ideas to install stuff. 3 Quote F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Why not just get some flat bar and bend it to shape and screw it to the seat supports and mount the amp to that? 1 Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Never thought of that. Actually someone mightve mentioned doing this on my other post, i forgot about that method. Thats another great alternative i could try. Thanks man, much appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just mount them the normal way, I must have missed this somewhere. I do agree with you though, it probably won't go anywhere. Just seems like a dumb idea. Our 6.5 mil foil will not tear from the gravity, weight, and inertia (or whatever scientific stuff that may occur) from a hard brake check. Yes it does cut with a sharp blade, but it also dulls those same blades very quickly because of its thickness. I personally would not recommend this type of a mount job either. But all he asked is if epoxy will stick to the top of our foil, and our foil is painted with a primer type paint that is great for adhesion since so many other types of products are meant to be adhered to it.
