Default Sub and Amp Placement Help?

This is what I plan on installing. I need pointers on sub placement and amp placement.

Pioneer 9300 Cd Player
Pioneer 6-disc Cd changer
Focal 165K Utopias mids/highs (will they fit in the stock location up front?)
Focal 165K poly for the rear
(1) Rockford Fosgate Power 10
Rockford Fosgate Power BD1000 (low's)
Rockford Fosgate Power 800.4 (mids/highs)
Rockford Fosgate Power Link
Pyle 2 Farad Cap
Dynamat, Dynamat, Dynamat

I already have the Pioneer 9300 and the (2) amps and I am wondering should I go ahead and get the mids/highs, sub, and capacitor?

My question is, where should I put the Power 10? (BTW, the specs are:
top mount depth 6-1/2"
sealed box- 0.625 cubic feet
ported box 0.75-1.75 cubic feet
(I believe this thing weighs over 50 lbs)

Two choices are the stock sub location or the the area beneath the brace bar with the 10 firing towards the rear and the amps mounted in facing the driver.

Will the 10" woofer fit in the factory sub location?

Here is an idea for my amp placement, I have the exact ones.

Your replies are greatly appreciated.

Tint,
Full 3M bra (BEWARE of clear bra installers). The 3M installer at the dealer razor bladed my car trying to put a full clear bra on. The entire front end had to be repainted along with the mirrors and both headlight covers had to be replaced. He tried to cover the razor blade scrapes the first time by using touch up paint. (The dealer ate the entire bill, over $2000) So dont ever buy from Academy Nissan in Colorado Springs, they are nothing but greedy %&^#*#'s . Okay enough of the whining, please post replies, thanks.

The picture you posted is a nice clean install, but I would venture to say it cost a lot of money. You could do it cheaper and more stealthy by getting an under the strut tower box and building an amp rack in the compartment behind the driver's seat, plus you would not lose as much of the Z's meager storage space.

Default amp placement

You said to install the amps in the compartments behind the seat, those amps are linked together and are fairly long. My question is, is there a space between the two compartments or are they separated?
