Amps and Processors under the seats...show me your build!!

OK..i am taking this up a notch. Currently i have a single amplyfier and single 12" sub sitting in the boot and this is wired using speaker level to a LOC.

But now i am getting serious and plan on adding a 4 channel amp and a old school Phoenix Gold 2 way electronic crossover / 2/3 octave EQ.

I think because the new 4 channel soundstream amp is the largest of the 3 components and also the sexiest, i would like to keep that back in the boot.

So that leaves me with some choices....i figure the clarion sub amp will go under one of the seats and never need to be touched again...i am hoping this would fit under the driver seat.

Then the EQ/crossover would go under the passenger seat and be able to be pulled out for tweaking if needed.
If this doesn't work then the EQ/XO would probably reside under the sub box in the boot where the tools are resting now.


So i just would like to hear from people and see pictures of how you guys crammed more than just a sub and amp in your mini. Mine is a 09 MCS.

I know there are a few excellent builds on this board, so show off a little

I looked into putting a amp and processor under the seat and could not find anything that fit.
I ended up putting everthig in the boot undr a sub-floor.

Although I do not have a processor I believe an Alpine HSF will fit with the Alpine PDX amp in the space under the passenger seat if the SAT box is not installed.

My install is here and has the Alpine PDX-5 and Crossovers set up in that space.

link didn't work, but i looked at yours many times.

I think the clarion amp is going to go under the passenger seat and the sound stream (14" wide x 10" high) will go back on the sub box...and the PG eq will go under the box...it should get enough air...plus it dows not really need much cooling.
