Hey guys, just got me a 2008 350z base, and I just recently installed my Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD headunit. I already installed 6.5" Alpine Type-R component speakers for the front doors, but now im going to run power wires for the amps. I will be running a Rockford Fosgate Punch 4002 (2 channel amp, 200w x2 @ 4ohm) and a Phoenix Gold x600.1 (2 ohm, 1 ohm and 4 ohm @ 600w RMS, mono).

My question is, where are some good mounting locations for a sub amp? I plan on mounting the fosgate underneath the passenger seat, but I have some concerns about how easily im going to be able to reach underneath the seat to work on the amp.

I also dont know where i should mount the sub amp. Poeple have mounted sub amps in the glove box, but i live in Fresno during the summer where it reaches upwards of 115 degrees in the summer. Will the amp overheat in the glove box? I dont want my amp sitting in plain view, and i do require some usable trunk space. Just an FYI, i have a zenclosure under the strut box for a 10" Alpine type-r sub.

Suggestions?

Pop the panel out where the OEM bose sub would normaly be, grab a flashlight and you will see the HUGE cavity where you can mount all kinds of stuff. I had 2 amps, a cap, both XM and Sirius boxes, and 2 power inverters for a PS2 and a car PC and never once ran into things not getting enough cool air and overheat. Plus everything will be stealth
