Amp(s) mounted in hatch shelf?, has anyone done this? Options

[KAMiX]

Can someone who's mounted an SUB in their parcel-shelf or whatever you want to call it give some feedback on sound quality?

I have sussed it out and there really isn't much clearance at all between it and the rear window. Usually it wouldn't matter but does having that much glass so close to the sub make any difference?

Thanks.

Sorry dude... I was speaking from experience as I had mounted an AMP to the parcel-shelf of my last car (Nissan Sentra). No impact whatsoever to the sound quality because regardless where to put the amp - its output would remain the same. If you meaning sound escaping from the bootspace due to the mounting then again - depends on how big a hole you're making to mount it. I would say usually there is no difference unless you have the hearing of a hawk to distinguish a drop in dB.

On the plus - if you're simply placing the amp on the shelf, it would actually add weight to the damn thing so no more "thud" noises when you go over a road bump
