Help with mounting locations hideaway

[Coach.major]

Not having any luck searching the forums but just wondering where everyone is mounting hideaway subs and amps. I have the leather interior with heated seats so there is no room under the front seats. I have noticed others using the Kicker 200.4 amp to run the smaller speakers and mounting behind the dash. Where is everyone installing the hideaway. I want this to be as clean as possible. Any room in behind the plastic in the wheel wells? This is on the non B& O system

Most have em in the cargo space right now.

The reality is there isn't really many places in the bronco. Nothing can go under the back seats if you ever want to fold them down. I couldn't even put a snow scraper under there without jamming the seats up when I went to put them down.

Your best bet is to just replace the speakers and then go with a powered sub so there's no need for an amp. This is what I did with mine. It't not going to rattle your neighbors windows, but it makes a world of difference in overall sound quality.

Trying to avoid anything taking up cargo space but may not have an option. I cant imagine mounting to the tailgate could be a good option either. Are you pleased with the Kenwood? Is that a 10" or 12"

8". Comes with an adjustment knob to mount on your dash. I really like it. It's velcro'd down to the mat to keep it in place.

Thanks for the post. I just installed a HS10 in my bronco where did you ground your wire? Having a hard time finding a good spot.

OP....I have the same seat setup as you (leather with heated seats), so my solution was to find a compact powered sub and put it under the back seat at an angle. I went with the JBL BassPro Nano. It puts out amazing bass for it's size, and is well built. In order to fit it under the backseat, I had to put it at an angle, but no degradation of bass in my opinion installed like this. I attached it with heavy duty velcro on the bottom edges and it's very secure and not going anywhere.

The only negative is I have to remove it to fold the seats down, but I currently have two kids car seats back there anyway, so my seats aren't getting folded down anytime soon without a major process as it is. I cleaned up the cabling a bit after I took these pics, but I'm very very happy with this.

I’ll be doing the exact same thing with a kicker hideaway and I plan on having enough cabling that if I have to put the seat down I can move it forward and place it on it’s side behind the driver seat (plenty of space between headrest and back of driver seat). I have the wash out interior however so no carpet…still thinking about how to keep it from bouncing around back there.
