Any good space to put an Audio Amp?

Guys,

I want/have to install an Amp for my Rio-Car MP3 unit into my Bronco. Driving along I was thinking about a space to put the amp without requiring to run miles of cables through the car.

Someone found a nice spot for an amp already? Maybe somewhere in the dash area? Was looking at the passenger side dash, but everythings already crammed there.

Thanks,
Mike.

When a friend had his installed they put it inside the console, I asked an installer where he would put one in my truck and he said under the seat.

Oh hell put it in the glove box. When you have a console most of the junk is stored in there anyway. I think I only keep my registration/insurance in there oh.... and a few extra rounds for the handgun.

Hey, this guy not only has great ideas but he does them!!

It's pretty neat to see a "right hand" version of a Bronco Took me a while to figure out what was wrong when I was checking out his home-made console

The ideas with the consoles are great.

Didn't know until looking at that website that there was a right side driven BRONCO.....quite cool.

Thanks also to all BRONCO friends out there for the suggestions. I'll gonna get a compact Amp and see where to bolt it.

That krazy Ozzie does have neat ideas! Hey! that's a great mod! Relocate the steering wheel and pedals to the passenger side!

That is a great idea to put the pedals on the right hand side. Then maybe my girlfriend will really be able to stop the truck when she stomps her feet to the floor board and grabs the dash trying to stop the truck in the passenger's seat!

Hipropos

:-X11 Miss Hipropos

Okay, being that I am MISS HIPROPOS..... I AM WITH STUPID!!!!!!!!!! No, his floor boards are not all bent out of shape!!!! Mine are bout that way though, from him in the MY passenger seat. Something bout the way I drive. But, I figured that I would clearify that remark bout HIS floor boards. By the way...... anyone know why I would have bubbles in my transmission fluid. For some reason, it started shifting hard today and MR HIPROPOS checked the fluid and there were bubbles. Got no clue here, I am just the Miss's. Have a nice day!!!!!

What year is your Bronco?. The late model broncos don't have enough room to put an amp under the front seats. The center console is a option, but dont spill anything in the center console. I was successfull in putting my amplifiers under the back seat, in my 93. If the amp is small enough you could put it behind the rear side panels.
