Hello all.  First I must say thanks for all of the wonderful advice.  The Pioneer N-2 bypass and wiring instructions.  I was leary at first but it worked great.  Anyways, what I wanted to know is where can I mount my Kicker amp for my subs?  I dont want to mount it on the box in case I need to remove the box quickly for space.  Under my second row seat I already have a Sony Xplode amp.  Under the drivers seat I have the brain mounted.  Does anyone have any ideas where to mount another amp?  Thanks in advance.

Depends on how big the amp is. Ventillation is the ultimate goal in location. Alot of guys want us to just mill it to the back of the fold down seat. You may want to consider moving the Sony amp (if its running mids/highs) to another location if the Kicker amp will fit. Still leaves you with an amp to hide, but maybe the heftier of the 2 will stay cooler.

I can't recommend it.  The heat sink would then be on the bottom of the amp and it wouldn't cool properly.  You could probably get away with a fan, but that's kind of a rinky-dink way of fixing an installation issue.  I suggest building a small amp rack with a profile the same size or slightly bigger than your amp, and bolting it into the truck somehow.  You can carpet it, paint it, whatever.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

I was thinking of mounting them on the side.  Can the amp be mounted on its side safely?  Thanks for all the input.
