Hi folks,

I have fitted an amp behind the passenger seat. I really need to drill and screw the amp to the bulkhead.
Is it safe to drill in this area?

Could you not simply attach it to one of the rear bin lids so that its easier to access if you need to?

Unfortunately not. The wiring is all in and the cabling is too short to move the amp from floor level to the bin lid.

Will it not fit within the trays. Mine is screwed to a plinth to raise it so the the strapping fits.

Top tip; notice that flat clip holding the carpet to the bulk head? Pull it out  s:) :) s:)  Voila, sturdy pre-drilled hole

Much of this bulkhead is removed to shoehorn a V6 into the space when the conversions are done.  With a little prudence. I doubt a couple of drill holes for an amp will cause any problems.

He's talking about the bulkhead behind the seats, not the firewall at the back of the bins  s;) ;) s;)

If you do drill into there be careful as the fuel tank is in that area.

Ah the metal that forms a right angle with the car floor behind the seats?  I used industrial strength velcro to hold a focal powered sub in that very place.  Its been there for two years without problem!

Sorry for any confusion, caused by my confusion!!! LOL.
