can i put an amp in the engine ?

Can i put my car sub amplifier in the engine bay ? just a question ?

as i don't want to put one inside the new car !!

 

[Dan Page]

erm, i dont think it would last long if u did!

 

[fUbAr]

not a chance.

It would get stupidly hot

 

[alexbleubolt]

well it wouldn't get wet, and could run a caf up to it, to keep it cool

 

[alexbleubolt]

i just didnt' want it taking up room in the boot,

 

[Dan Page]

whats wrong with just puttin it in the boot? LOL.

 

[alexbleubolt]

i put the shopping and the dog in the boot, sometimes,

 

[Eddieb]

Eh... if you need your bootspace what on earth are you going to be amping up?

Could always wack it under a seat and get a fan onto it!

 

[Floodie]

Put the dog in the engine bay...

 

[fUbAr]

put in under the passenger seat.
(the amp, not the dog)

 

[Dan Page]

Under one of the seats?
Its not like amp's are massive though, mount it to the back of the rear seats!?

 

[alexbleubolt]

yeah, i guess, i'll have a look. thanks

 

[Mr. White]

spare wheel well?

Um, think it would get wet

simple answer, no.

if for whatever reason you don't want the amp in the boot, either don't have it and get a decent stereo or under front seat as said already.

lol!

ive herd some daft things in my time but this just takes the biscuit, imagine showing some one your engine bay?

especially if the amp was more powerful than the engine!

Don't want to discount the obvious daftness of the question, but it would be possible.

Ambient temperature in the boot would be say 10°C? In the engine bay this would be nearer 80°C. You just need to find an amplifier that can handle the higher ambient temperature. The components inside the amp will have a temperature limit. The temperature rise of these components over the ambient temperature will mostly be directly proportional to the power output of the amp.

So the lower power you are pushing out of the amp then the lower the temperature rise of the components and the more chance you have of siting it in the engine bay.

So if the temperature limit of the components is higher than engine bay ambient temperature then there is a very slight possibility of doing it.

If the temperature limit is less than 80°C then you have no chance.

You could look at installing a water jacket, pump and external cooler if you want to have a go.

But grow up lad stop asking stupid questions!

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Put it under a seat ffs

 

[Tigger]

Step out of the car please... have you been drinking sir?

put in under the passenger seat.
