I'm about to start upgrading my system. I'm staying with the clarion 6.5 coax's in my '93 SNOB and I'm not sure what I'm putting on the tower yet. I am planning on putting 1 12" in the drivers kick panel b/c I need every bit of room I can get under the observers seat.
My dilema is this: I've seen many of your pictures of your amp mount, but how do you physically get them mounted on the gunwhale? I looked at white chocolates mount with the metal brackets ( I think too much overkill for me) and it also looked like in one of his installs he cut away the carpet and epoxied wood block on which he screwed the amps onto.
I currently have two old school amps I'm going to install (They are old school, cut I have many other hobies including small children and a small income so please don't bust my chops). The first is a very small, light, but sturdy little HiFonics Falcon 90x2 amp that I plan on running the 4 stock speakers with. The second is a Fosgate Punch 160.2. Neither one of these are very large and I was thinking of sticking one large piece of Hook and loop/velcro backing on the entire bottom of the amp using some heat resistant adhesive. I hate the thought of permanently defacing my carpeted gunwhales b/c I bought this boat as a training boat until I feel comfortable enough and am sure that the family has bought into my addiction enough to justify a full blown $60k investment.
What are your thoughts or explanations of mounting these amps?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Joe
