Plan on a weekend if you've never done that kind of work before.

Anyone have any threads that might help with running the wiring to the rear for the sub? AND, any thought on a good location for the amp?

I believe most run power wires along outside edge of car (door sill) and RCA's up the middle.

If you can fit amp into one of the side tubs or in the center with the sub, that works. Or you can glue a board behind passenger seat and attach it there, otherwise on the rear vertical wall is popular in C5.
