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!!

Here's the threaded stud to which PGAWest refers. I encountered it as well. I plan to Dremel it off, however, and use the two remaining studs should I ever need to return to 100% stock.
