how did u mount your amp

Thanks. I made that bracket myself using a piece of 1/8 thick steel flat stock I bought at the hardware store. Truth is it wasn't hard at all to make...all I used to bend it was a vise and a ball peen hammer and a big crescent wrench. Before I made the bends, I used a drill press to make the holes. Then I used a pneumatic cut off wheel to cut the metal to specs, and a bench grinder to round off the sharp edges.

 

i have one jus like this in my truck but mine is a little bit longer and i have my cb screwed to the bracket and my amp is tie strapped to the radio. i'll post a pic as soon as i get to my truck. but i like the long bracket because i don't have to reach so high to mess with my cb.

 

You can buy small "L" brackets at any Lowes or Home Depot, and some small self tapping screws, then just attach the L bracket's one on each side of the Amp with the screws....Just be sure to check inside the Amp before attaching screws to make sure your not going to hit anything...Try to hit the heat sink.

 

Sry y'all I didn't go to my truck today to take a pic of my bracket. I had a lot of crazy things I had to get done today. I will make a special trip in the morning jus for that.

 

Here is a old pic. I have a new radio and truck but u can get a idea. My Palomar 250hd sits on top of the cb. I used a tie strap to hold them together. I hope this helps a lil.

 

i thought I put the pics on here but I guess I didn't. How's this? Sry I think I posted a bunch and I can't take then off. But u should get the idea. Let me know what y'all think.

 

I swap my radio from a couple of my pickups. I built a couple of (I think pretty sweet) brackets mounted on the floor, that the radio sits in and tilts up, then just have a velcro straps I strap the radio down so it's easy to get in and out. I too have a midnight special 250 amp, I been trying to figure a way to mount it. I thought about taking a couple of pieces of half inch flat strap, making a sharp 90 degree bend about a quarter inch on one end of each piece of the flat strap. then take another piece of the flat strap, and measuring the width of the cooling fins and welding the the other piece of flat strap under the 2 with the bends in the back to keep the amp from sliding back, kinda a saddle the amp will sit in. Then weld that onto the side of my radio bracket, spaced out about a half inch or so, so my velcro straps will go between the amp and radio. Then get another smaller velcro strap and strap it down to make it easy to get in and out. only thing holding me back, anyone think it could cause it not to cool good enough since it does build a little heat?
