Making amp rack in spare tire location
I’ve seen other people take out the foam inserts and make a wood amp rack in that location. I am planning on doing this too. Was wondering if anyone has had any problems doing it this way? Mainly lack of airflow or amp heating up too much in the summer time. I am planning on mounting a Pioneer GM-D8701.

That amp looks like one where the lid is the heatsink. there aren't too many warnings in the manual, so I bet the risk of overheating is low. it doesn't even tell you not to mount it sideways or upside down.
if summer heat is a concern you can always wire in some hard drive cooling vans to push air across the vents. |

I relocated mine too for a nice clean slate. Amp moved right and fuse block moved left. used Riv-Nuts for securing them. Haven't had any issues.

It's been a little over 2 years and it hasnt overheated yet. Hasnt even really been too hot to touch either, no matter how hard I crank it. I'm sure the load on your amp may make a bit of a difference.

1. Are the factory cables for the Bose amp and the fuse box long enough I don't have to cut anything or extend anything 2. Can you still remount the fabric side panels after moving everything. Amp and fusebox 3And can it be mounted without having to make extra holes

2. side panels fit as per stock, no modifications necessary. 3. The Amp I am sure you can get away with Velcro strips. I went overkill. I only added two riv-nuts for the fuse block to secure the bottom. the top is free standing. more than enough in my opinion.

Well ,,,i bit the bullet and tried it..the left side was a breeze..i used sheet metal screws..didnt hit anything under..but close the opposite side was a little harder..theres the fuse box and some sort of sensor..im guessing its for the rear sensor.. nothing is touching the battery . it is securely attached by zip ties..now to make templet for amp rack..im planning running 2 amps going to individual subs..

I'm planning on running zero gauge from the battery to a distributor and then four gauge to both amps fused on the zero gauge and on the 4 gauge also running a distributor block minus fuses from the ground which would be a zero to two smaller 4 gauge wires that would be the grounds for the amps Will the LC i2 remote start both amps
