Behind the cubby box if you have one or in one of the seat boxes? The drivers seat box has lots of room. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

good one AA.

That's where the OEM Clarion subwoofer is fitted on the SVX. It's a dead good location to get wires to under the carpet to behind the dash, and will raise the cubby up a bit making it more comfortable for arm resting purposes!

I've been having the same issue with my double cab, there's just no space Sad

I really want to use my 2 JL Audio Slash amps and as many of the 3 x 10" subs I have... but they just don't fit under the rear seats Rolling Eyes

This is where the amps with the smaller footprint come in to their own whilst still not small as such it helps a lot. I have been looking at dimensions of some tonight and some are huge Shocked It's hard enough to find space for a sub let alone an amp too. Especially in a 90 never mind a 110. It's a pity if you wanted to hide it that the space under the roof behind the lining couldn't be used but troube is the is nothing to mount to (I assume) and a bigger problem is heat air flow ect. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Yeah the Slash is a big bit of kit, but many in the audio world still think its the best even being nearly 10 years old Shocked

Might just need to give in and fit the lot in my partners Astra Laughing

I'm mounting my JL Audio amps next week in the back of my 110. I'm going make an inclosure for them and mount on the arches behind the rear seats. Just got to give them enough ventiltation!
I'm also fitting my ZR components in the front. Should sound good!
Thumbs Up
Agreed they're still seen as one of the best amps you can buy. 2008 110 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

As you say, the wires are well hidden. I got one of the boxes below the cubby box and underneath that a subwoofer installled, which required certain creativity to fix it properly, but that way the cubby box has the same height as the door. Both arms rest in an equal height now. Winding roads need some proper posture of the driver in order not to hit the cubby box with the ellbow (my right one as driving on the right side of the road).
