Help mounting my amp in a rclb
I built a custom box for my 10" sub behind the center console, as of now the amp is underneath my seat but i want to screw it to the back of the cab. How do I go about doing that? What screws should I use and how long should they be? Pictures would be a big help too! thanks guys!

i used 1" x 8 SS screws from lowes but it all depends on how your amp's mounting holes are drilled. the best place to put it is right behind the driver's seat. (the easiest place to run wires 
) I ran mine right through the console by the way.

Some amps are designed to run mounted vertically. My txa300 overheats like a bastard when it's horizontal.
I took a 1/4 thick piece of wood, glued 1/2" mdf to the end so the 1/2 pieces were in the grooves of the back of the cab. Lined it up and screwed it in. That way you dont put holes in the cab and you can't see any wood because it's behind the carpet.

Well it's fine where it is but sometimes it's a pain in the a$$ and it doesn't look very good. I have always liked the look of them mounted to the back of the cab. I'll probably just leave it there for now because it is hidden. Just one of those little things.

I haven't touched it yet, I don't think I am going to move it but my buddy wants me to build him a box and install all his stuff for him so I might have to mount his to the back of the cab. He has an 09 ecsb but he has 2 12s I haven't even looked at it yet cause he is always running around with some new girl.
