I bought one of those while they were on sale as well... great deal on a great amp. But yea it is HUGE! Im not sure how Im going to make it fit! haha Only option is to take up space in the trunk. Im going to pick up some supplies and experiment with it this weekend. Ill post some picks of anything I come up with.

So I pulled out he nine.5 and just put it in the trunk to see what I have to work with. I think I figured out how I want to mount it. A simple mounting bracket and a single face formed to fit the contour of the trunk there and I think it would look awesome. It covers the trunk light a little, but I can just wire the trunk light up to some LEDs in the mount and it should look pretty nice when you open the trunk. Anyhow, not too big at all, see for yourself...

Thinking about this amp myself. 350 bucks seems to be a pretty good buy but I need to do a little research on it, I know Bing is into elemental design so its most likely a good amp. Wish there was somewhere close to go listen to it.

Dont forget u have to run 0 gauge wire so leave some room on the power side but looks like u should be fine.

It's definately a quality amp. The regular price is $500 they are only discounting it because its discontinued. Apparently they just werent selling enough of them because they are so big. Nevertheless its one of the top recommended 5 channel amps on DIYMobile, ICIX, and several other of more popular forums. Do your research, and get one before they sell out!

Though it does have the ability to take 0 guage wire, you dont "HAVE" to run 0 guage wire. 4 guage should be fine for this amp. I might run 2 guage just for piece of mind, but 0 guage is just so hard to work with and I will never be pushing the system that hard anyway. I value my hearing.
