[QUOTE="52merc, post: 15921189, member: 197"] Mounting the R600X5 amp was really easy. I reused the OE sound box as was my plan. I removed the original amp protector "wall" from the sound box. [ATTACH=full]1491349[/ATTACH] I purchased 3 ft of 0.75" square aluminum tubing from Home Depot. I drilled large holes (big enough for the original amp mounting screws to go through) on the bottom side and small holes on the top side. I drilled pilot holes in the sound box and mounted the 2 brackets. The large holes allow the screw to go through the one side of the tubing and tighten up on the other leaving them countersunk in the tubing. I cut-off the ends of the tubing at 45, drilled holes for the amp mounting screws. I positioned the amp with about 2" extending ahead of the sound box. It fits nicely where the PS OE amp was mounted. The OE screws are for plastic with special threads and bite well. This mounting offers cooling on all sides of the amp. [ATTACH=full]1491348[/ATTACH] The finished sound box is shown below. I made my own speaker adapter plates and lucked out with the crossover mounting. I am very happy with how this turned out. [ATTACH=full]1491353[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
