Template to fabricate ABS bracket (to mount KEY/LC2i behind glovebox)

[jewc75]

Did the lc7i end up fitting? I’m going to try to make a bracket like this for my lc6i.

I havent started that part, too many other projects going on.

Update: It will not fit.

Perfect fit and plenty strong.

Do you have the STL for this still?

I greatly appreciate the file! Just had it printed at my local county library they actually have 3 - 3D printers! Came out great !

Do you know the depth of the shelf. I would love to see if a Puzu C7 would fit

Is anyone here able to print me this bracket?

I also posted a request in the WTB section. Will cover materials, labor, shipping.

I can. So long as the long dimension is under 16 inches. I didn't see the size.

Direct message me, if the creator does not get back to you timely.

Did you ever get an answer?

Also does it sit horizontal or vertical?

If you have not had this done yet, there are several places online like xometry that will print one-offs out of whatever material you like. Watch out for tariffs, as the companies offshore will add them.

There are several posts on the first page that show these types of brackets mounted in the vehicle. The bolts that mount it go straight up, so the solid leg the amp/etc is mounted to hangs vertical.

I was able to get the bracket printed from a generous member here and have since installed the amp.

Looks good! I've had my amp (same one as you) mounted to the my bracket for a while but haven't installed it yet. Planning on finally tackling that in a few weeks.

Funny how we all seem to have figured out the amp is best turned "upside down."

I created an illustrated PDF file covering the complete installation steps to install the Kicker amp and wiring harness in my 2022 XLT, if wanted shoot me a PM. The instructions that come with the harness from PlugandPlay Kits is vague and useless for the most part.

I would have preferred to mount the amp "right-side up", as it would have made it easier to access the switches on the side, and to plug in the calibration mic. However, the way the wire harness is designed it's to short to mount the amp with the "correct" orientation. The harness must be carefully routed as there is very limited space behind the glovebox when it's closed.

The Puzu C7 will not fit the bracket, as it is too tall (5.12" vs Kicker 2-3/4"). Making the bracket taller won't work as it would protrude into the cabin filter door area.

Kicker amp: 7-3/8"W x 2-3/4"H x 1-11/16"D
C7: 6.69W x 5.12"H x 1.3 D

However, you should be able to mount the C7 using zip ties. I did this with my Kicker amp while awaiting the delivery of the printed mounting bracket. The zip ties held it in place quite securely.

Thanks so much for the offer, but I made all my wiring connections back in May, when I thought I'd have more time to finish my own installation. I've had the amp, harness, speakers, crossovers, and sound mat ready a while, but the summer just got away from me...

I have had my stuff for 2 years. Finally just got the speakers in! Well worth it . Puzu and maybe a powered sub.

Good luck.
