Kicker L7 And Vented Box

hey, not sure if i should face my kicker box toward the back seat or towards the trunk. if its better facing to the trunk then i will find another place to mount my amp instead of on the back of the box! please see pics

 

ok awesome thanks all, nice trunk ranger! that looks sweet!! I will mount it on the side on a piece of wood then cover it with fabric like you said. Thats a great idea and easier and nicer lol.

 

going to try the kicker and my new mtx today hopefully in my tempo then will change it over to my taurus next week so i won't bother drilling holes in my kicker box.

 

grrrrrrrr all i get is two red lights that come on the amp and my speaker makes a big thump, then the 60 amp glass fuse burned, so i unhooked the speaker and the rcas and tried again and same thing melted another fuse, the fuse is about six inches from the battery and everything was ok with another amp i had before. everything is 4 gauge. i smell burning electronics also what the frigin hell?? i just got the amp yesterday and tried it today. MTX 6001 MONO CLASS D AMP, it was used and from ebay but common....

 

hmm never looked at the gain, the ground is definitely secure, umm no to the negative of the battery off, i unhooked the positive glass fuse by the battery then hooked up the ground, positive then the remote wire then i go back to the battery and screw the glass fuse back in!! and turn on car and nothing but a big thump, lol this woofer is a monster if i ever get it going, my friend said it sounded like a sledgehammer in the trunk lol.

 

i might try and bring it back tommorow it wasn't cheap, i had to fight about 8 other bidders to get it. i smelled that burning smell and its very distinctive, always ends up being a bad sign.. i can't see it being something i did wrong? do you still think its the install? i don't have any more glass fuses so will deal with it tommorow, and check the gain level, other than that i thinks its fried..

 

this amp is a 2 channel mono amp, i'm bridging it to a dual coil 4 ohm sub which is hooked in parallel, positives together and negatives together, this gives 2 ohms no?

 

sigh.......

can you read back in this thread one page viking am having problems with my amp.

 

lol ok let me go get in back in a few, i have other pics of my last amp that melted the ground connector on the amp and blew a transistor after working great for about a year. I'll put the bazooka pics now and the mtx amp after, maybe it is my butcher job of installing.
