I've just finished installing an amp in a 94 Dodge Spirit.  I placed it on the driver side wall of the trunk.  Since I don't have rca jacks on my HU (JVC FX-12), I installed a Scosche line out converter.  Right now it is sitting on the floor next to the subwoofer box.  This converter has no holes to mount it.  Do you guys have any suggestion how to mount it or where to mount it.

I have a similar situation.  I bundled and zip tied the wiring and just let the converters lay in place, held in place by the wiring.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

OK, I thought about that.  The only way I get thinks done is to walk away from it for a while and come back to it.  The idea about wire ties is good.  I'm going to use a carpenters knife and cut some slits in the carpeting behind my seat, use wire ties to hold it in place on the seat back. Also I can use the slits and hide the cable behind the carpet on the seat.  Thanks

I put it in the carpet behind the rear seat with wire ties.  All you see is about a 1 and a 1/2 inch of the input wires and an 1 and 1/2 inch of the rca's.  This way if I have to tweak the settings, I don't have to pull the HU again.  Because the HU didn't have RCAs to begin with I had to run the signal from the HU to the back of the car.  With the 94 Dodge Spirit it doesn't make a difference because all the speakers are in the doors so tapping off of the rear speakers for a signal would be as much trouble as running from the HU.   Thanks for the suggestions.
