yea I saw those spacers. the washers are just temporary to see if it will even work.

draft6969 · Feb 19, 2016

and on a side note. that net audio box looks really nice. how does a 1 1/4" lift affect the back seat while sitting in it? is it very noticeable?

No not at all, I still have a perfect view out of the rear window and I have the ability of folding down the back of the seat now. I have 2 car seats in the back as well and have had no issues with them.

I ride back there randomly with my daughter and sit comfortable at 5 10"

draft6969 · Feb 19, 2016

good deal. I didn't think I could go that high without it becoming an issue. tomorrow I am just goanna keep stacking washers till the amps fit. I cant imagine that if I lift it 1 1/4" they still wont fit. im getting hopeful. Thanks for the info

On a side note. I was playing around trying to fit some tweeters into the center dash area, when I noticed mine was a solid piece with no cutouts for the sound to go through. Does anyone know where I can get the alpine center grill at? And since we're talking about locating items. Where can I find sail panels also? Just incase I decide to cut into mine.

draft6969 · Feb 24, 2016

besides where to buy the sail and grills, i have got another question for all you RAM guys here. Where are yall installing the bass knobs at? I have the audio control and I need to access it for the accubass and time alignment. its too big to fit in the little holes in the dash which as far as I can see are good for nothing. lol I've dug through all the ram build threads and found nothing. is everyone just not using them?

Well i have offically hit my first snag in my project. While test fitting my amps to see how I wanted to lay them out. I found that they don't fit anywhere!!! Well they fit great but the seat won't fold down without hitting them. I'm so discouraged right now cause while I can just get some other amps. I absolutely lover Lunar amplifiers. A brief introduction to anyone not fimilar with lunar amplifiers. Kenny has been building lunar amplifiers right here in good old lousisana since the early 1990's. He was one of the original Rockford engineers back in the 80's and branched out on his own. Anyway these amps are pretty rare and some of the best sounding amps around due to him being very **** about his products. Lol. Fast forward to today lunar doesn't exist anymore and I have been saving these amps for this very build and now they DONT FIT Ok sorry for the rant. I took some pics and if anyone has any ideas I'm listening. The only idea I have is the seat lift trick to fold the rear seat down. Maybe the 3/4" might be enough?

How are you planning on securing the amps? I don't think you'll have room for a board.

draft6969 · Feb 24, 2016

well if I can get them under the seat ill figure it out then. probably just screw them into the foam matt. or if I install them behind the seat ill have to figure that out. lol maybe carpet the back wall and just screw them to it or make a amp board. don't know till I lift the seat, which should happen after work today.

draft6969 · Feb 24, 2016

Ha that's funny, Do you have the full console or jump seat? This is where I had my old Kicker remote

draft6969 · Feb 24, 2016

I have the console

VegasDragger45 · Feb 24, 2016

It wont fit in the blank under the shift know?

draft6969 · Feb 24, 2016

Your right. I didn't even notice it's the same area you used. Does that piece pop out?

VegasDragger45 · Feb 24, 2016

You have to pull the dash out and its held on by 2 screws.

Well i lifted the seat 3/4" and amps still don't fit under the seat but they do fit on the back wall and I now have the ability to fold down the rear seat. So now I'll start deciding on the layout.

With 1 1\4" blocks to the seat back still catch on the hooks when upright?

I mounted my bass knob on the under side of the dash in that pocket at the front edge of the center console. Right about where you see the bottle cap in your picture. I thought I had a pic but can't find it now. Can take one tomorrow.
