Does anywhere know where the easiest place to mound a sub and a amp would be...I have a rockford P3 Shallow and an alpine amp powering it.
I would just like to know the best place to mound them

best place for the amp would be under the front passenger seat. speaker in back..
just remember to run your power cord on one side of the vehicle and the rca/remote on the other side. just eliminates the chance of interference..

you can get creative and do it like I have.
Don't mind the tow strap or the hoodie those are winter necessities around here.

you can mount the amps off to the side in those "scooped out" spaces in the trunk. the sub should definitely against the back seats with the speaker(s) facing the rear of the car. IukekiniProtege is right about how to run the wires. You want to avoid interference at all costs.

cool thanks guys
Oh and I doubt that you have to mount your sub but I do since its a P3 Shallow and mine falls over when I try and stand it up. I have the hardware for the sub to be mounted in the truck I just dont know where to do so. Should i just drill into the metal. Also how do you go about getting that second amp in because when I tried to put the second amp in my front doors had this white think that got in the way of me bringing my speaker wire through? (Thanks again)

I made a wooden floor from my trunk so i could drill into it. I just traced the carpet in the trunk onto a piece of plywood. I would not recommend drilling into the metal.

That's a good idea.
I will have to see what I can do to get that......
But you have no idea about this white thing in the door that's in the way of putting speaker wire through?

I had my amps screwed to the back of my backseat. if your car has those fold down seats, its really easy to do, and it prevents the amp from getting hit or whatever. Looks really clean too, when you open the trunk and you only see the subs.
