Behind Glove Box
What's behind the glove box? I'm thinking of having an amp mounted inside with a small fan to suck the air out of the box. I just don't know what's behind the box or if it is flush against the firewall. - thanks

I'm not completely sure what"s behind the glove box, Aubrey, as I"ve never had mine out, but I know someone that put a carputer in a 3 HB and though he had to cut out the back of the box for it to breath, fit it did.
I don"t think you"ll have a problem... as long as it"s no longer than a computer case is.

I've taken mine out before. There's not a lot of room back there. I personally wouldn't be comfortable putting anything behind it. I took mine out to pop a hole in the grommet behind there for my power cable to my amp. Amps seem best in the trunk honestly.

its a way to hide it for sure, but what happens in the event in which it were to say blow, or a cable fell off. you gotta take it all out fix the amp and reinstall in which you could have mounted it in a different place. hell you may be able to put it under your rear seat. just not the sub as i pointed out in the other thread. i just have mine in my trunk and its been no problem. why you thinking this anyway? so it stays hidden? plus you also gotta think about all the cables where the hell are they gonna go. your gonna have to cut a hole in your car to make the wires go through to the sub, ground wires rca's the whole bit. its sounds like a hell of a lot of work. but if ya got time why not.

At least you would not have to worry about too long of RCA cables running to the trunk, therefore eliminating the problem of interference between the power and the audio cables.
If the amp is for subs, I wouldn't cheap out on the audio cables from the amp to the trunk, get something to carry that power and sound easily.
And along with jaimie08mazda3if you were to blow a fuse, loose a cable, want to expand, etc, it would be a pain.

I'm keeping the stock head unit. The amp I'm looking at is a 5-channel. If it's up front, it's just a matter of getting power to it and connecting it to the head unit. For a sub, it's just running the one speaker wire to the trunk.
