thats a good point i never thought of the wiring issue... can i put the amp under the rear seat? i really like my trunk space...

Not enough space to do it under the seat really....you can easily attach it to the back of the rear seat in the trunk and have no issues taking up trunk space

You'll need to run new and it's preferred when switching to aftermarket amp stock wiring is old and running the wrong direction....If you run into any issues getting wires through the door just use an old wire hanger to feed the wires through also avoid running speaker wires to close to power wires to your amp to avoid ground loops and alternator whine in your system....good rule of thumb I've always used is to run power wires close to the middle of the car as possible to avoid interference with anything electronic

If your wanting to save trunk space it's an option you'll get ur best bass facing the trunk though
