Trunk Wall question

[Shandon]

I have seen guys mount amplifiers to the back wall in the trunk? Whats behind there that they are screwing the amp too? I mounted mine on the floor of the trunk because I didn't know what was there? I would like to relocate it to that wall if it's safe enough? Appreciate the info guys!

Every 1 in a 1000 cars gets one of Hoffa's toes or fingers stuffed in that space. Should not interfere with the amp though.

Fuel Tank!! Make sure to use "self-sealing" screws!




JK!

Should I heat the screws up so that I get a good seal when they enter into the tank?

Seriously though I thought the tank sits back there and if so how are people mounting amps Etc. to that back panel?

Upolster a sheet of plywood as a false back wall and mount anything you want on it.. Just my $.02

I went through the trunk wall to mount my motons. No problems but I was very careful. I used a drill bit slowly to get through the trunk and once cleared i checked what was behind it. I used a body nut to connect the bracket.

How far did you go? 1/4" 1/2"? Just a rough guess? Since you went through I assum the tank isn't directly against that back wall?

I didnt use a screw, but a u nut as pictured below. Where I mounted them there was some space but couldnt tell how much. The bolt only petrudes about 1/4 inch.
