Default Attn all people w/ aftermarket ignition

Where the **** did you mount your ignition amp? I tried mounting it on the firewall behind the intake manifold, but after driving for 5 minutes, the thing was sooooo hot...and then I felt my intake manifold and I realized why; the amp was absorbing heat from the manifold as well. I want to mount it inside, but I'm not sure on how to run the wires through the firewall. Any help you guys could give would be helpful; thanks.

Hey,

I have a Four Door too

Mine is also on the battery, but on top. I have a Honda Goldwing battery though, so there's room.

I've seen it mounted underneath the driver's side seat!! i didn't think the wires would extended that much, but i guess they do . . .

If you are referring to the rectangular red box tath is about 8" by 5" by 2", Put it behind teh stereo console, between your gas pedal and the passenger side foot area. If you decide to drill though, be very careful not to drill through stuff on the other side!

I have a msd sci and it has been mounted behind my intake manifold for over a year already with no problems. The blaster coil is ghetto tie wrapped to my abs.

MintyDip got it right, under the passenger seat. No heat, no H2O, no UV sunlight, easy to isolate from vibration, out sight from thieves, protected from physical damage..... The engine compartment is not the place for it, only back yard mechanics that don't know any better mount them near the engine. Have a look at any true racecar that depends on reliable you won't find an ignition amplifier in the engine compartment. You know where mine is!
