glue a board to the back wall, then mount the amp to the board. No screws through the back wall that way.
good idear!Quote:

What I have found helps keep carpet and jute from wrapping around the screws is to put your drill in reverse and press into the wall and let her rip. Then you can go forward and it will go right through the steel and hopefully not wrap any carpet or jute up in the screw. If you do wrap the screw up it can be a booger getting the screw back out and you might as well throw it in the trash.
I dont know if im too fond of actually drilling into the cab like that. What kinda glue would work best to hold the wood?
this will hold anything
splendAd - Loctite - Power Grab - Hammering commercial
OO OO OO or you could use mighty putty haha.
oh hell david just screw it in there:lol: idk thats what i did worked fine:D
I've never been a fan of simply gluing a piece of wood to a piece of metal. I'm usually running fairly large amps (read: heavy & expensive) and I wouldn't trust whatever glue/epoxy was holding that together. Glue fails, wood hits cab floor, wire comes loose, grounds out on amp, fries amp. Then you gotta pull the seat, replace the amp, etc. PITA. I'd rather put a couple pieces of dynamat behind the wood, put my screws through the dynamat, then screw my amps to the wood. Much safer IMHO.
just toss it under the passenger seat. i put some velco on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. the bottom of the seat frame sets right against it. i put some foam tape there.
