B&O amp location/replacement with aftermarket amp

[AdamTucker]

Hi folks.... I'm working through a complete audio system upgrade and intend to fit a 4 channel amp in the location of the B&O amp.

I have bought the cover and mounting bracket for the B&O amp which I will modify to suit.

Question...does anybody have photos of the underseat area with the cover off & B&O amp removed? I need to work out whether to cut the carpet and where to bolt the bracket to (and modify).

Thanks in anticipation.

I intend to do a proper write up of my modifications to the B&O sub and installation of Focal speakers in due course.... I've been having lots of fun and will end up with a system significantly better sounding than the B&O. (I'm a self confessed obsessive audiophile!)

Look forward to this mod. I just added amp and pioneer sub alongside existing sub and amp sounds awesome. Are you doing the stealth sub in boot

Hi I'm doing a stealth install using the original B&O enclosure which I purchased from eBay. The standard B&O subwoofer driver is actually poor, so I decided to replace it.

There are very few 16.6cm sub drivers available though I did find a shallow mount one from Kicker (Not the best brand I know) which fits with a MDF spacer ring and some other modifications.

See link for pictures of the magnet assembly!

Any pictures of the B&O amp location heartily appreciated as per original thread.

Is the BO amp not under the passenger seat on the 8V?

 

[AdamTucker]

Yes, B&O amp under passenger seat. We were also discussing the B&O subwoofer, which sits in an enclosure in the spare wheel well.

Is the sub the same as one in the saloon?

 

[AdamTucker]

Sorry, not sure. I think the saloon might have the sub in rear deck.
