i got a piece of left over wood from the sub box i made, and screwed the amps to it. on the back side of the board i stuck some velcro tape on both wood and back wall of the truck and stuck great. didnt have to drill any holes on the truck. its a clean install and hard for the thiefs to get to. i have to remove the back seat to get them out or to adjust the settings.

how much velcro tape? im guessing pressure of the seat help keeps them attached? when ya hit bumps it does not slide or anything?

I did the same thing using a piece of MDF and velcro behind the seat. I did the seat mod, so I can fold it down to access the amps though.

I have my crossovers for the fronts mounted inside the center console. If you have the full center console there is a lot of room under the front part.

seat mod? not sure what that is could you please explain ?

You trim the tabs that hold the back of the seat, so that when you are folding it up it can slip out and fold down if you want. Let me see if I can find a link to the how-to.

OK here is the link to the thread on another forum:

Note that your back wall isn't going to be trimmed out like the one in the picture, that is something you would have to do if you want it to look like that.

Where is the room in the console? I looked under the cup holder part and there is a huge Bose amp. that goes almost all the way to the back. In front of the amp. all the way to the very front is some kind of enclosure for a Bose speaker, I asume it is a sub it has 2 2wire conections on it 1 on each side. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Ah, yeah mine is different. 2001 didn't have BOSE and mine has a Denali console which is slightly different.
