I have been thinking of running a dry nothing big just like a 50 or 75 shot. But my only problem is were to mount the bottle. I can't mount it in the cab because of my subs. the only place I have left is in the bed but i live in the north east and i want to use the dry shot all year long so will a bottle heater be enough for the winter. And if anyone has so pics of bottles in the bed that would be helpful. I do have a cover and sometime the cover is off to haul something.
Step 1. crus at it.
Step 2. get a hammer.
Step 3. torch it.
you have a reg cab huh? If you put it in the bed, Get a bed cover and a bottle blanket too. Cold temps will not help at all with consistancy.. then again your only hitting a 50 shot.Originally Posted by trx2stroke4life39
No its a ecsb but i have two kicker 10'' l5 in ported boxes under the rear seat.
And can i put a bottle heater under a bottle cover?

Are you worried about hiding it? Why not run it facing foward at a 45 right behind your center console? I use my back seat alot, but I cant recall the last time I had 3 people back there, and anyone of normal size could easily straddle the bottle if you needed to fit 3 in the back...

you can run the heater inside the bottle blanket. Just make sure its a real Bottle blanket and not a thin shirt or some ish. I use an extra nomex hood arround the bottle. Nomex is a flame resistant material we use in the fire dept. the hood protects our face/neck/and ears from fire. it also retains heat like a mofo. Works well for a bottle blanket.
If my hood were to catch fire the nomex will put itself out.
I would either kick out the kickers... do it like homie said, or put it under the center consule.
Get an 860 bottle heater, they're awesome!

Im not running a bottle in my truck right now, it was just a thought that came up pondering your question.

I run my bottle in the bed of my truck with a wet shot. With a dry shot it will matter even less. Get a heater from DynoTune if you are worried about it and you are good.
