Faq: Reasons For Not Installing Anything Underneath The Seats.

[Guest MegaloManiac]

Maybe you could offer a better location for the normal car (not for those with a wall)?

I've been considering a good place to put everything, so it really would be appreciated.

dont you have a tahoe. this faq is meant for the people that mount them under the front seats, i thought that was understood. sorry bout that

i know that a lot people are running amps under that backseat of the tahoe, in an amprack of course, but usually the ground it to the chasis or run another run of wire back to the battery.

as said its just a guide, its not mandatory,

this should be called "dont mount AMPS under the seat" not "anything"......there is a few things that can be hidden well under there like various "brains" and things that wont get hot. For XM, alarm, tv tuner, and other various "slim" electronics, i think mounting it under the seat is just fine. As long as you got "clearance, Clarence".....you should be fine

I agree though, i wouldnt mount an amp under a front seat under normal situations.

My buddy had a fire in his blazer because of the way the power wire was run under the carpet and got cut on the seat brackets it shorted out and caught the casing on fire some scary shit right there nice find

....your boy didnt use a fuse, that was his biggest problem. His second problem was his install. A good installer wouldnt leave the wire close enough to the track for it to get in the way.

well i look back at my old statement and i kinda take it back. weve installed underneath plenty of seats and everything turned out fine. everything had good ground...(just gotta put it in the right place) it sounded good. and the seats DIDNT move except to pivit up and down

so depends on application

Meade it had a shitty shitty circuit breaker up front and ya the guy who did all the install recently saw all of the stuff i had to redo and was pissed i redid everything but ya the breaker didnt pop like it should have

Man, I gots all kinds of things under my seats. The fronts have a brain, processer, sirius, ipod, tv tuner, headrest brains, and a strobe controller. The backs each have an amp, then I have a DVD changer, CD changer, VCR and video swicher.

x2.. minus the kids part.. and i wont have anyone in my back seat since i dont have a back seat.. hope for all that area to be encloser space.. but i plan on putting all my amps and wires in the back hatch area on a rack for easy tunning and adjustments.. kinda hard when shit is under the seats

IMO

EDIT: Well and the accord part too.. i never had an accord.. but i never allowed drinks in the car unless it had a lid. and if you spilt in my car you didnt ride in my car..
