This is the amp 500/5 that I am having installed, glad you give it a thumbs up. I tentatively told them to mount it in the rear of the cargo area vertically. Measured to be just the right fit. Any down side to putting it there?

EatRice....I am looking to keep as much of the original space as possible, so I would guess that vertically is better than horizontally.

Great point. I will remember that. Hope I get a chance to take a look at your system at Andys party. Cya there.
