I would only bolt it down if you want to include them in your insurance contract. Otherwise, you should just lay it in there, so you can pull it out at the track.

400 Watt Amp for 2 JL 12's??? Ask KEEAUDIO, he can help you out with this question. Personally, i dont think it would be good enough. Well not to get a good thump out of the Subs.

I'm not sure if you guys are talking about the same thing, but KEE offers a box that allows you to continue using the lid storage area. Here's his custom solution. At $109 that's far from $333, unless that latter number included the sub.

W1 recommended power is 150watts rms each woofer. So 400 will be fine. Just dont crank the amp all the way up.
