In my case ('05 4.8is w/DSP/NAV/BT) it does NOT look like there's much room in any dimension for a larger amp. When I relocated the BT module to where the CD changer used to reside (THANKS, BSW and your YouTube video instructions!!), there is another electronic module behind where the BT module was mounted, so a longer amp would not fit. I might add that it's a pretty tight squeeze fore-and-aft for the amp as well, but there's more room in that location that in the former CD changer slot!!

I actually JUST finished those video guides!

We just mount it in that location. There is no "mount".

I don't remember there being a stud down there. The RF amp is actually smaller than the Alpine amp that we were using before. In your case the install you worked up is actually quite nice
