Here are the links I've been looking at for ideas. I was going to put it in the spare tire area, but I don't want to get rid of the tire, and the amp I'm looking at doesn't seem like it would fit real well.

Amp rack (this is what I'm doing):

Thanks for the write ups. I'm the same way, I don't want to get rid of my spare even though I never used it but just in case lol. The amp is seriously small as hell so I could for sure try to make room, prolly behind the stock monsoon amp, we'll see.

you could file/sand/cut it bigger, the 9-1/8" would be easier to sand to the right size but you could also try finding a local stereo shop and see if they'll cut you one thats the right size to start so they can match both the inner and outer diameters of the sub.

I just ordered the DB Link kit (& an extra set of RCA's for 4-channel) off ebay. I've also bought a piece of MDF board from Menard's, and will be getting some carpet from Walmart tonight. Now I'm just waiting for my stock sub & box to sell on ebay, and I'll be ordering the amp next. I'll be fabbing the amp rack over the Thanksgiving holiday, so it'll be ready whenever the amp arrives. Can't wait!

@boricuaHec, does the alpine amp you bought come with a separate bass control? A buddy has a kicker amp that has a separate **** you can attach anywhere in the dash, and it control the bass level without messing with the headunit or amp. I thought it was a pretty cool feature, but his amp it too powerful for what i want.
My current setup will have a on/off toggle switch that can turn on and off the amp at will. Kinda like a manual fan switch.

I probably tweak my bass for every song, and having a little **** is very practical. Mine came with the amp but separately it's like $20. But if you're gunna want to use it eventually do it now, you'll have to pull the interior out again to wire it.
Unless you already put the interior back

Edit: Saw that I would need the Alpine RUX-****, should've kept that into consideration earlier.

I'm not really famililar with those, wouldn't they work best with aftermarket speakers? I'm still working on stock. And isn't the bass control option in the headunit a good alternative for it? Any brand would work? I haven't started any installation yet.

Placement is also important. I needed it someplace easy to reach and adjust but out of the way. I chose to put it on the side of the center console next to the cupholder:

for what it's worth I've got the **** for my Epicenter in the cubby next to the cigarette lighter (where the TCS button is on TCS cars) and that is the one that I change based on the song (usually album), my amp also has one for the bass boost (some actually do the gain control, depends on the amp) and for now it's just in the passenger seat till I pick a place to mount it.

I was thinking about putting mine around where the obd port is at, but not too far in. I just want to keep it hidden, but accessible. Nowhere near the passenger side either lol.

I'll look more into it but probably won't proceed on installing one at the moment. I should've got it sooner cause I'm going to start installing this weekend.
