Default Amp mounted: Pic attached

After seeing how some people mounted their amps I decided that I wanted mine on the back of the cab. I saw a few guys take the entire pad off the back wall but I wanted to keep the sound deadening quality of it.

So I just cut out a square of the padding so I could mount my amp directly to the back of the cab. I used self tapping screws on the raised part of the cab.

My seat folds up fine will plently of room to spare. I know alot of guys mount theirs to a piece of OSB or what not but I didnt think it was necessary.

I didnt even think about that vent... I'll cover it up and that should solve that issue.

Thanks for pointing that out.

There should be a vent on the other side also. Blocking one won't hurt.
