thanks James,
I wasn't anticipating using the space under the floor as extra enclosure space so much as a good place to use the factory screw posts as added support for the enclosure. Also, I plan on using mdf to re-create the factory hatch, have you tried this? if so how did you secure the bottom of the hatch (i.e. my thinking using the factory posts underneath the plastic piece on the side. I figure I can put some felt or something underneath it so it won't rattle. As far as using the driver's side, I'm eliminating the factory amp and housings anyway so it's no big deal using this side. I'm still not sure If the AM/FM tuner located in the tire well is directly connected to the head or if it runs off of the factory amp, haven't taken it apart yet to see. Also, I plan on using the Passanger side to mount my amps as they are too big to fit on the factory rack on the drivers side and I don't think they'll fit in the tire well. Side note: Have you experienced any problems with the electrical system in the car. I've heard that the computers in these things are a little touchy and adding a 70-100 amp draw sounds scary....Any suggestions...deep cycle battery/gel cell?
