Template for amp mount in B&O sub area?

[TahoeTexan]

Does anybody have a template to mount an amp in the B&O factory sub area?

I'm planning to remove the 8" sub and place my amp there. I'll have a 10 or 12" sub in a box in the cargo area.

There is a vendor that offers a premade amp rack for this spot, but I can't find that info.

I just got one from these guys. Really nice work and packaging. Actually using this to mount a kicker hideaway sub in that spot. This way I get a factory look and keep all of my storage space free.

Just got it Saturday. May try to install next weekend. I plan on documenting the whole project (dynamat, sub install, etc)

Post something when you do please! It's something I'm thinking about doing on mine as well!

I have been keeping notes on what others have done to deal with vibration from the B&O sub, so the plan is not only to mount, but attempt to preemptively deal with the fall out of having a sub behind the plastic panel. This is the final part of my upgrades as I did the Kicker Key on the fronts and JBL sound Bar, with the PlugNPlay kit. I swapped the fronts to some Focal components, and overall the stereo is great now, just needs a little low end boost.

Oh, in that case, I've got a question for you! I honestly am not looking for much low end, I'd just like a little more clarity, a slight upgrade from my 6 speaker Big Bend. How do you feel right now with just the JBL and upgraded Fronts?

So the front speakers I have are pretty high end, an older version of the Focal ES 165kx2 (that I had from an older project). They hit really hard, actually had to do some sound deadening because of how hard they hit. The Sound bar also puts off some great punch, but it still is missing a little low end (im not looking for window shaking, just quality sound). When the top is up (I have a soft top 4dr) the stereo is near perfect, but when I put the top down, that is when I am really feeling the lack of low end. I have taken this project in phases. Phase one sound bar and speaker swap. Wasnt happy with the distortion from the radio above 12 in volume. Phase 2, Kicker Key with he plugnplay harness, brought the stereo to life, and got rid of distortion, plus can hear it at speed with the top down/windows down. I have drug my feet on this last step, as I didnt want to mount the Kicker Hideaway in a place that it is seen. Thought about tailgate mount, but the size of the unit looks strange on the tailgate, Then I found the mti acoustics site, and realized this would solve my issue. I am following the steps that someone posted on altering the panel, by removing the cubby with a Dremel plastic cut wheel, I have speaker fabric and 3m adhesive to make it look good, and a lot of dynamat and felt ready to make the panel not buzz from the subwoofer.

I tried searching for your install photos and couldn't find anything - I'm looking for a solution to mount an amp, factory amp, and LOC in the space where the factory sub is - curious how yours worked out
