    Has anyone fit a small amp inside of the dash? If so, where and which amp? Maybe one of those "motorcycle" mini amps. I don't know if it would make any difference to have the amp in the dash versus under the seat or not. Seems like it would be easier to run the wires, at least.

    I have my alpine ktp powerpack tucked behind my dash and wired inline with my pioneer double din. There's more room than you think back there.

    I tucked my alpine 445u inside the dash to the right hand side while installing double din DVD head unit... There was quite a bit of space in there one of the rockfords might even fit
