[QUOTE="oni, post: 5433822, member: 592850"] Anyone with an 08 or newer Lancer/Evo. I getting ready to do an install on mine and was wondering if anyone else has any experience. What I'm thinking is starting with the obvious .... 1/0 Big 3! I want to do a Kenwood DNX5120 H/U, Components in the front (haven't finalized which), and an Fi Q 12" 2 Ohm DVC. I already have an Eclipse PA4212 for the fronts and a BX1505D for the Sub. I was thinking of mounting an amp under each front seat to conserve space. I've never done this for an amp install before so I'm looking for any Pros/Cons. I'm thinking about building a topless box for each amp that doesn't extend all the way to the top of the amp for airflow with a removable tray. Last thing I want is to mount it to the floor and have my car pool spill coffee again.

But as I said, because I carpool with 2 others to work, the car is pretty full and I'd like to keep some space. Below is a link for a custom box build for the trunk (for trunk space reference).
