I'm replacing the factory stereo, speakers and will be adding an amplifier also.
I've seen some amp installs done under the passenger seat, but what the heck do you do with the jack afterwards?
Any suggestions as far as locations for the install?

If I still had my 2000 I would have put it under the rear seat I think. There really is no room anywhere else that I could think off. In front off the console maybe but I am not sure how good that would look.

I've never taken the back part of the back seat out, so i'm not sure if this could work, but there is some room back there, maybe it would fit? I'm pretty sure the seat back pops off somehow...its in the manual somewhere's.

I can speak for the '02... the rear compartments behind the rear seats are great for larger amps. I took my jack out of the storage compartment & moved it to the bed. Since the '02's have the rear buckets only a small, very low-profile amp could go under the rear seats. Since the seats "flip" forward.
Under the pass front seat is out... no room.
Taking the rear panel off is no biggie. I even got mine out without removing the rear seats.
If you are running big amps... I would take the center "panel" behind the console. that little "door" that is stationary & remove it. Drill a bunch of 1/2" holes in it & cover it in black speaker grill cloth for estetics. Then put 2 5" fans behind it on a bracket to pull air in to ventilate the cargo area... thats what i am doing now.

Not that it's an '00, but you can do what St Louis Harley does - let it rattle around in the back seat. ;)

ambigu0us haven't you heard the recent development in reality?
Women: See not heard? or something like that..
Anyway.. do YOU have a suggestion as to how St. Louis Harley or anyone else can mount thier amps? as in detailed how-to's or better yet diagrams & pictures??
Better that I deal with a jack handle hittign my fot when I drive then crapy tunes...
Love ya!
--My momma always said, opinions are just like Butt-holes everyone's entitled to one, but not always entitled to show it.
I put a 700 watt X 5 channel Hifonics Zeuss under the front seat. I took the jack and put in in a small toolbox in the rear. I mounted the amp to a 1/4" thick piece of grey Plexiglass with flat high polished edges. Looks pretty nice. I'd take pictures right now, but my garage is unheated, it's an ice storm outside, and I'm nice and comfy in my shorts. Any questions, feel free to drop me a PM.

I installed my Rockford amp and cap under the front passanger seat. If I need a jack I use my road side assitance.
I got a Memphis 1000D and 140D and cap under the rear seat on the drivers side.The 1000d is screwed to the floor and the 140d is screwed to the underneath of the seat and the cap is on the side of the middle seat

Did you say mount? I only mount Harley Owners and they amplify me! You need the detailed How-To's?
I put mine under the passenger seat and just thought about something, i might be able to put the jack in the console and put something in there to keep it from moving aroung, ill have to try that, hold on.
yea that worked really well, you just have to take it out of the holder and it all fits inside there under the tray

Hmm.....good idea Keith
if and whenever i get enough dough to do my system, i'll have to remember that.
the screw guys can probably fit the jack and case and all in their center consoles they are so friggin big thoughLoL!
My AMP install is under and behind the back seat, along with my XM Radio unit.
Check out the install
