[QUOTE="captaintiger, post: 8314309, member: 663058"] OK, let me clarify what I want. The car in question is an old 911. The cabin is tiny. There are two spots where the amp or amps can go: Spot 1: Under passenger seat where the existing piece of crap (Nokia) amp is located. The available space here is roughly 12 x 12 x 3. This is the preferred position due to proximity to the subs (1.5 feet away) and the head unit (2 feet away). Additionally, the HU is already wired to this spot so it is the easiest and best location for an amp. Spot 2: In the trunk which in these cars is in the front. Although I have no problem putting something in here it has several dis-advantages. Long runs of wire, labor & the loss of valuable space where groceries, etc.. have to be carried. The spare tire is up there too which needs to be accessible. The best situation for me is one amp under the seat. I think the JL will fit there but I need to take the seat out and measure. Additional considerations: I am not an audiophile. I am looking for "good" not "best" while avoiding poor quality stuff. Future expansion is not likely given the tight space although there are 2 existing 6x9's in the rear which I will either not use or just hook up to the head power for fill. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
