HELP:amp mounting

[gride300]

please tell me the proper screw size and what not to mount an amp to the port wall under the lift up seat of a 2005 210. the stereo shop drilled holes in the side and i don't want anyone to do it again.

RE: HELP:amp mounting

Did they pay to fix the boat??? I pulled back the carpet and used gorilla glue to secure some half inch plywood that I coated in fiber glass resin to the wall. For extra support. I also have a sante with the factory amp set up so I also used those planks to mount to. I used a beauty board/ amp rack to mount every think on. Here is a link. I have more construction pics if you want to see them pm me.http://planetnautique.com/index.php?...ic&t=11627

well i went up and showed them what they did and told them it's going to the dealer, i'll call w/ the estimate, pay for it, then they can reimburse me and they said ok. i was livid when i saw it. i just need to know the largest screw i can use w/o coming close to this happening again.

RE: HELP:amp mounting

any knowledgeable information about this will be appreciated and no, i won't hold you responsible for anything. the amp is a wet sounds syn6 located to the left of the factory clarion 4ch closer to the stern of the boat on that port wall

RE: HELP:amp mounting

You are going to need to mount some sort of backing - the hull is in no way thick enough to mount an amp to (except for the thick factory section used by the factory amps). I used treated firing strips and attached them to the hull under carpet. Somewhere there was a member that used some really nice standoff screw insert type items - cannot find the thread though.

RE: HELP:amp mounting

thanks for the advice. for ease of install and peace of mind I am going to gorilla glue a piece of starboard to the wall and then mount the amp to that. whenever i change out my in boat amps(2) and sub amp with wetsounds i'm going to move my sub to the driver's side and just have a vertical or maybe staggered rack built on the floor. it involves an 8 hour drive to orlando with the boat so it won't be for a while, thanks again. that supersport install is sick.
