I've got an Alpine amp on the way from Crutchfield (incredible site by the way) and I'm going to run the four door speaker through it. So here is my question: Where should I install the amp? I know that under the passenger seat is probably a good idea with most amp, but I've heard that this particular amp (MRP-F300) has some over-heating issues. Also, do i need to worry about the stock amp? I'm going to replace all of the speaker wire in the car if that makes any difference.

 

I would put it under the middle of the 2nd rear seats consitering it's a dead spot and it keeps it away from the heater and kicking. Although it won't fully keep it away from heat I jut find it to be a great area not to mention close to the speakers.......IMHO

 

Ok new problem with the amp install: Where the heck should I run the power cable through the fire wall?

 

There is a couple of graments that you can run through that other wires run through to get to the engine.
