Features of the installation of car audio amplifier

During the arrangement of the speaker system in the car, there are often some problems or issues that relate to the installation of the sound amplifier. It can be both ordinary and quite difficult situations where the driver cannot decide on the choice of location or method of installation.

By properly installing and connecting the sound amplifier, you can ensure full air circulation, preventing overheating, as well as access to its settings for better sound of music in the car. In addition, the device should not interfere with the driver while driving, while he should be in a convenient place, fit perfectly into the interior of the cabin.

Basic ways to install a car audio amplifier

So, consider the basic options for installing and connecting the amplifier so that it does not interfere and looks good against the general background. There are basic types of location:

• by fastening to the rear shelf;
• installation under the front seat;
• by fastening to the seat back;
• installation under the floor in the trunk;
• use Custom style.

Each of these species differs, first, by the result obtained, while it has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

Method 1: Screw to the rear shelf in the car

If the driver has a car with a body type «sedan», then the best solution would be to fasten the amplifier to the rear shelf in the car. Such an implementation is universal, having several advantages:

• ensured normal air circulation and, accordingly, cooling;
• excellent access to device settings.

At the same time, such an arrangement is not always convenient for placing personal belongings in the trunk, since sometimes it can interfere with opening its lid. This is possible in cases where the trunk has a small height, but, in most cases, this nuance is not a problem.

A significant disadvantage of this placement is the complete lack of beauty and style of design. This can explain by the fact that the rear shelf very often has a corrugated structure, has irregularities; sometimes it has torsion-springs that keep the trunk open. Therefore, drivers often come up with different stands and podiums, which does not always look beautiful, sometimes massive. Nevertheless, this arrangement is one of the most popular among sedan owners, and it used in case of installation of an audio amplifier for a car.

Method 2: Install under the front seat

Many modern cars have enough free space under the front seat to install additional devices that improve the quality and power of music. In addition, it is worth noting that many vehicle manufacturers also install regular car audio components in these places. Examples of this could be well-known car manufacturers: Toyota, Lexus, Honda, BMW and others.

The advantages of this placement considered excellent cooling, free tuning, and while in the cabin the sound amplifier will not interfere, perfectly «complementing» its interior.

Regarding the shortcomings, they are also there, although they are not essential – the device dimensions may simply not fit in the specified place. Therefore, when choosing an amplifier, it is worth considering this factor.

In addition, installing a sound amplifier in an SUV, you can accidentally damage it. How does this happen? This can happen in the case when the owner uses the car for off-road driving, in some cases there is a high probability that the device will be flooded with water, passing the marshland, which will lead to its breakdown.

Method 3: Screw to the back of the seat

Hatchback owners often use this method, screwing the sound amplifier to the rear seat. A feature of this method is simplicity and speed of execution. For many, such a mount is the most optimal, while the cooling and tuning of the sound amplifier carried out freely.

However, despite these advantages, there are a number of disadvantages to this arrangement.

1. It is possible to scratch the device.

2. Since the amplifier is located on the movable part of the car, there is a possibility of damage to the chassis or other mechanisms.

3. It is necessary to securely attach the wires so as not to touch them, in the case of transporting something in the cabin, at the same time, it is impossible completely eliminate damage to the wires.

Based on this, it can conclude that this method is not completely reliable, although it is quite simple and easy to use.

Method 4: Installation under the boot floor

In many modern cars in the trunk, there is an additional place where various boxes for storing tools and other trifles are located. Instead, if the owner does not need these components, you can easily place the sound amplifier. He can be in this place; it will be easy to adjust for full use, getting a high-quality sound.

The only disadvantage of this placement is the insufficient level of cooling of the device, which can lead to overheating and, as a result, to the occurrence of other unpleasant situations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide excellent air circulation, for this purpose, special fans are often used.

Method 5: Using Custom Style

In this case, the driver does not need to worry about where and how to install the audio amplifier. For this, he can use the services of the service or at the time of purchase to choose the best option for mounting. In any case, the result will be excellent – the sound of the music will be quite powerful, and the effect of the reproduced tracks will differ in special depth and saturation of the shades of all frequency ranges.

Difficulties of choice – we select the optimal location

Despite the difficulty of choosing the optimal option, the driver may proceed from the characteristics of his vehicle. He can place the amplifier on the rear shelf, under the seat or on its back, in the trunk; it all depends on the size of the car and the features of its design. The main thing in this case will be after installation, namely setting up the sound amplifier, to get more effect from its use.
