Hey,

I put two a/d/s amps, a coustic crossover, and a battery terminal block in my '93 rx-7. It's a bit custom, but not that difficult. I mounted a piece of plywood vertically underneath the strut brace behind the seats. I covered the wood in black vinyl, and when the front cover is on, it looks like nothing is there! Very cool. I'll send some pictures if you like.

u don't want to hide it too well because it may over heat.

I overheated mine all of the time. I was going to build a rack in the storage bin with CPU fans on it, but then I decided to sell the car.

let me take a pic real quick, i'm really happy with my setup because it's clean and i have just one box to take out and with it comes the two subs, amp, and cap all in one nice neat package. the disadvantage is the compromise of storage space. i just pile **** on top of the bins anyway so it doesn't bother me much.
