Hi,
I just bought everything I need to upgrade my car audio.
I have a "JL Audio HD 900/5 Five Channel Amp" and "JBL MS-8 DSP"
Where sould I place them?
Or is there anyone can do custom amp + one 10" sub rack?

There really isn't one GOOD place to put stuff in a C6

Mounting the amp on the vertical wall behind the passenger seat is an option, but you lose a lot of leg room and may have overheating issues.

A box just behind the seats in the hatch area works well for most people, or a box at the rear end of the hatch is also popular.

DoubleDmods.com can make anything you need, and they do have racks that blend into their available sub boxes also. First pic below is a custom box they made for another forum member, the rest are various boxes I've made for myself over the years.




2007 DIY box #1 (long gone):


2007 DIY box #2 ($75 shippep if anyone wants it, sub included, add the XR-5S amp for another $250)


2012 VetteNuts box (from DoubleDmods) and new in-progress DIY box (hopefully my LAST). Currently using some temporary power wires and old crappy RCA's while I do the fine tuning on my new amps, all new KnuKonceptz power & RCA wires will be installed and the box will be finished soon:





A few more from DoubleDmods:

I went with a very small physical size amp and have it behind the passenger seat. The seat still goes back all the way and no overheat issues, it's been in for a year. Talk to Dennis at Double D he sold me the mini amp and can hook you up with everything you need.
