It fits absolutely perfectly between the driver side wall and the full size spare tire. Makes for a very short length of power wire to the factory power distribution supply box, which conveniently had a 80 amp fuse available and unused.
The rest of the wiring, including the outstanding high level sub output wiring locations, went well in my Nav/non-DSP X5 by using this:

The "bump" is just fine for me even with the factory cover over the DSP sub.
