hi all...

I just got my LPG system install today, will get the car back tomorrow, but before i got the LPG, i installed an amp in the boot ready for some doof doof... , but now i'm a bit worried that it will be obsolete due to the LPG tank going in

Questions is... is there any issues with you guys that have LPG and a boot install, sound pressure etc on the LPG tank..... should i be worried?

also, has anyone got any pics of the their boot install
and how do you either hide the LPG tank,
and where have you placed your woofers/amps, now that the tank take the place where these would normally go??

i had a gas tank in my falcon and there were no problems with having a gastank in to boot along with 2 subs and an amp rack.

The bass might drop a little but it probally wont be noticeable, as for the saftey aspects of having subs near a gas tank, you will be fine.

I run a boot mounted amp, a big 4 channel, a 12" sub, and a 82 (?) litre tank. No problems, still get a back massage when I turn it up.
I have side mounted the Amp on a board.
And can remove the sub when I need the space.
Sound pressure wont affect the sub, or the gas, so I've found. I might lose some oomph from the sub.

pressure in the tank is a tad higher than the pressure your sub will be creating :) no issues at all, just revert back to how you had it.

lol,nooooo,its a factory cover ,so its in the same material as the floor and sides...moulded shape as well...i love it as it finishes off the boot quite well...i believe they came on the last of the dedicated lpg magna.

This is an install i used to have when i had my Falcon, and the gas tank didnt block any bass at all.
