Amplifier Location

[phouse]

Hello, where is the best place to place aftermarket amplifiers in the explorer..?
I may only add 2 at the most...

thanks

 

[jimbo74]

in the rear right quarter panel under the trim.... that is where ford mounted the stock amps on higher model Xs

 

[88vert]

how big are these amps going to be?

 

[phouse]

Are you referring to the compartment where the rear washer fluid is..? I was thinking about maybe two Rockford Fosgates....

 

[jimbo74]

the washer fluid tank is on the left side.... the right side has nothing there......

 

[phouse]

The left side has a small amplifier looking thing in there is that a amp.. I haven't checked the right side yet.. I have the storage compartment...

 

[jimbo74]

no, on the left side that is your 4x4 shift module,,,,,, the right side houses the stock amp

 

[phouse]

Ok, I will check that...

some people mount their amps to the underside of the rear seat. then it is easier to adjust your amp settings

 

[Crankcase]

If you use the right side, and have heat generating,high powered amps, you might consider getting a little fan for them inside there.

If I mount them under the rear seats.. will it interfere with the seat folding down, it looked like a very small space underneath...

 

[leenjen]

not if you mount the amps upside down on the underside of the rear seats. then they will fold down all the way.
