multiple amp setups
looking for setup ideas for multiple amplifiers...wiring diagrams and pics are helpful. i have a 97 Coupe (C5) i'm thinking about a 3 amp setup but i'm trying to keep it subtle and maintain most of my cargo room

i have two amps behind the seats (under the top) and the third in the center storage comparment. you probably could fit 3 amp in that area where the top goes down (or the similar area in an frc or coupe) check out the zapco amps. my 500.1 zapco amp is suprisingly small

Not sure where to mount them in a C5, I have a custom amp deck/sub enclosure in my C4 which still gives me 100% of my cargo area, yet I have 2 amps and a 10" sub mounted there 
wiring is easy enough. Just run a heavy gauge wire from the battery to the back somewhere, ground it in the rear (find a seat bolt, bolt under the carper, anywhere really). The RCA cables and remote wires from the head unit to the rear I ran under my door sill carpet (its easy in a C4, not sure how the C5 looks).... the rest is just wiring up the speakers and routing the wires under the carpets to each of the speaker holes.
Piece of cake, but expect to spend 1/2 MINIMUM doing this.
