Since I removed the aftermarket subwoofer and bracket and installed a sub enclosure under the rear right seat, I needed a place for the amplifier. I reused the bracket that is attached to the JBL Nano, but just to top of it that is 4 metal "legs" and a flat surface. I placed that under the middle seat agaisnt the sheet metal, straddling over the emergency brake cable. I actually put one sided foam tape on the bracker first and then attached it with heavy duty zip ties. That is my amp mounting location. I went with a small mono amp and just tapped the harness for the JBL nano for speaker wires and the battery terminal and a nearby bolt that was being used for a ground for the power and ground locations. For the remote turn on wire, I found an empty fuse slot that you can see in the 2nd picture. This one is switched to the vehicle and is powered when you open the door and run the vehicle. It turns off a few minutes after closing the doors when the lights go out. You may notice that I have an LC2 line controller sitting on top of the amp. Well, best laid plans...the sound was just not great for the low octaves with the speaker wires directly into the amp. I have used LC2s in the past and should have just planned for it from the start. Now it sounds much better and has the very low deep bass which is easily adjusted by lifting the seat and adjustng the knobs on the LC2. I could have rand another wire to a gain knob, but I keep it turned down so that I don't have to constantly fool with it. This set up is night and day better than stock and really was not that hard to do if you have installed aftermarket stereos before. Access to the battery and the harness for the rear speakers could not be easier.
