my guess is they were needed when making the car at the factory
Mysterious holes in front part of trunk - '95 del Sol
2
Heya all,
Thought I'd throw this out to you guys and see if there's any clues out there. I'm relocating my amp from behind my passenger seat to the trunk (also to add another amp, most likely a JLAud 500/1). When I took off the interior trim covering the forward part of the trunk, I noticed these three threaded holes - I have no idea what they're for.

The strange thing is that it doesn't look like it's used for anything (at least in the 11 years we've owned the car) - but from the paint scrapes - they were used for something?
Good news is that the mounting board for the amps will attach to the forward part of the trunk easily with those holes there.
Any ideas?

Well, as long as i get rep...lol
heres the pics of my amp rack... it turned out pretty good (considering we just used wood, and didn't bother to fit the carpet back over it...) My trunk looked really clean w/ the subs (2 10" type-e's) the amps were completely hidden and everything fit in PERFECT...
BTW: i know the mono amp isn't wired up, lol. Anybody need a 350RMS amp? (i already sold my subs...)

Almost done - finally got that Boston from behind the seat and into the trunk. Here's how it looks so far:

Those three holes are perfect for mounting the board for the amps to attach to. No drilling required, which is good. I'm going to use those metal attachment points where the trunk trim hooks onto to mount a trim piece for the amps - to cover the wiring and keep stuff from hitting it.
As for the 500/1 - the amp does rock!!! :TU: A bit expensive, but this thing controls woofers with a vise-like grip, and refuses to run out of steam. One of the best things I like about it is the crossover networks - the pots have detents so you can perfectly set what freq you want. The Boston sounds smooth, but those pots are marked with logarithmic freq scales :hammer: , so I can't tell exactly what freq I've set them at without getting a freq analyzer on it (don't have one yet).
I'll probably take a break from this and put in the Blox LCA's and sways this weekend.
