HELP Where to mount stuff---ALOT!

[ronsdeal]

Ok, redoing a 2000 Ex Sport. Have new head unit, [Kenwood BT 742U],but..
I need to find a place for; Dedicated Sirius Tuner SCC1, Kenwood interface box SR-50, and a Kenwood S220A switching unit. I was hoping to get these 3 pieces behind my head unit, but can't seem to make that work. Help.

Also, I have a MTX sub for the right rear pocket, but also have a Kenwood CD changer, and 2 power amps. One for the sub, and a 4 channel for the speakers.

I was hoping to have this all concealed, but it seems that neither amp will fit well below the passenger seat, or the 2 back seats.

And where to put the CD changer? If I gut out my center consel, it will fit there, but then no more storage space.

One more question;
Should I power my sub amp from the subout from the HU? It is stereo, but for the sub I could combine the signals,
OR
Should I take the line out from the 4 channel amp to feed the sub amp?
The 4 channel is a California AP 740.
It has Hi & LO pass filters on it.

Thanks
Ron

I would run the sub amp off of the sub out on the HU. You hshould have a sub level control from the HU.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Any thoughts on the other stuff?

run a separate amp for the sub for sure, dont run 4 small speakers and a big sub off one amp. dk about the rest tho

There's quite a bit of space behind/under the steering column. Will depend on how long your cables are though. Should be some space behind the glove box too. And then there's under the message center/storage areas in your center console.

Oh, and mount your sub amp in the left rear storage panel (where the lug wrench is). CD changer - might go in there too.

Did you get the MTX custom box w/ amp? How did that work out? Was thinking of getting one.

you should have room under the h/u and behind the ac controls. i have my ipod and sirius boxes there for my jvc. now i dont know about size differences in the models but i have a double din jvc and they fit nice not forced or anything
