Default Amplifier Install

I found a post a while back that showed an install of an amp in the spare wheel compartment.
Who's install was this and do they have the template for the mounting used?
I have a 6 channel JBL beast to fit, running front components, my new speakers in the roll hoops and my bass shakers.(lucid panels will be for sale soon!)
I am also considering a 1 Farad Capacitor to help things along a little. Any one have any experience of these and are they worth it for a single amp and speaker set up.

Thanks All.

Its the weekend! What are you doing!??!

Hi,

I have my amp fitted in the spare wheel compartment.

Mounted on a board, fixed to where the spare wheel used to sit.

I think there's a guide to building a spare tyre amp tray in the FAQ section.
