Default Re-doing my sub/amp setup, suggestions please...

Right now I have a 450 watt sub (RMS) but only 150 watts feeding it, so I'm planning on getting an Audiobahn (bash them if you want but I am a fan) 400 watt Intake amp. I will be moving the sub to the passenger storage compartment and I am not sure where the new amp will be, right now the one I have is behind my seat but I don't really like it there. Mounting the new one on the back wall of the rear compartment would require getting more wire to run it all the way back and I don't wanna mess with that either. I guess I will just mount it ontop of the driver side storage compartment and have the sub in the other one.

Any suggestions or tips are welcome. Pics too. :cheers:

If you don't want to runn new wiring then your choices are limited.
I installed my sub amp behind the drivers seat and the 4ch on the drivers side compartment lid. I blew my RF 301X last weak and had to drop back to an old amp out of my truck. I don't know how hot the amp you are geting runs but I had a sound stream in my 84 and had to move it because it was causing my seat to get so hot I thought it might catch fire. My 301M on the other hand stays fairly cool so I mounted it behind the drivers seat in my 94.
