amplifier placement in a 1302

[volkdent]

If you are here for the spirit of German Look as well as the actual look, you'll want your battery and amp and anything else of any weight moved to the front of the car for handling reasons. Bugs tend to push(understeer) first, then snap oversteer as the motor weight gets going. The added weight up front will increase initial turn in and if you have oversteer, may help to keep the front end moving instead of just being the axis of rotation. The nearest to the back I would go with an amp is under the passengers seat, keeping the weight low and balancing out your weight to a degree. Bugs are notoriously tail happy, so if you can move a little weight up front, you can keep things a little better balanced. My amp, sub, sub box, battery, and X-overs will all be up front.
