You actually fit a Rockford Fosgate Power T600-4 amp under the driver's seat? Doesn't it overheat? According to the specs its 2.14" tall. We have that much space? Its good to hear the 3Sixty fits under the seats though. I was thinking the same thing. But as for the Power T600... thats a pretty thick amp... let me know how it goes. I'm personally looking into the Sony XM-4s. It's pretty slim & compact.

I mean I've looked at Amp sizes and given that you've already verified to me that the Rockford 3Sixty.1 (1-3/4") fits under the passenger seat. Given that the only amps I've found that has similar height dimensions are the SONY XM-4s and XM-1s models. The only thing close to that are the current Blaupunkt THA series amps that ring in at 1-5/8th". Everything else starts at 2-1/4" H.
Let me know how it goes, I've been thinking along the same lines. I'd love to see how it goes and if it works out alright. Personally, I'm concerned what little room between the amp and the seat there is.

here's some shots... I'm thinking about fabricating custom seat mounts to get more clearance. My other option is to figure out how to mount an amp to the back of the hatch gate.

OOhhh, you meant from the back side of the front seats.
well have you tried leaving your amp there and put your back seats down? The reason we have the slope on the back side is for the headrests of the back seat to fit under there. Try that picture again, but with the back seat down. I don't think its gonna work Bro.

I think we can all say we bought the fit for various reasons, one of those big reasons being the Magic Seats. If we're going to do something that disables us the convenience of the magic seat, we gave part of why we bought the car in the first place.
But if thats the plan... I'll have to find another way.

Be carefull mounting things under the front seats, right below that is the gas tank.
What about mounting the amps under the rear seats, on that incline? You'd still be able to lift the seats up for tall mode, and in flat mode I don't think the bottoms move all that much either.

For amps, look at PPI Artseries amps.. They can be had for about $200-$260 on ebay and in my opinion are the best amps ever made..

I've seen installs with amps in the headliner. Maybe this is an option?
I've been bouncing around this issue for a while now - and it looks like us Fit owners that want to preserve full functionality of the various modes, yet demanding a non-intrusive install, are screwed. False floors or small amps to fit in rear cargo panels are some of the very few options for us. You could screw the amp to the back side of the rear seats, which would definitely be out of the way, but then again when you fold the seat down - there it is again!

This leaves us with the question of what kind of amp can we fit above the Gas pedal. Or if you want, mounted to the hatch itself.
If lambert is right. Mounting an amp upside down [ in the headliner] will only cause the amp to overheat.
