My main question is. Is it necessary to upgrade the fuse box to a new one like http://www.engmanparts.com/fusepanel.php. I now one positive thing is the bass will not make the fuses's fall down. Is there any other benefit to putting in the new fuse box ???? and what the best place to put the amp.????

This is what i have ordered and going to order for my sound system.

going to order these when i get the speakers in so he can cut out the correct mounting hole.

I wouldn't upgrade your fuse box. The only thing you should power through the stock fuse box is the head unit. The amp should be on its own seperate circuit. The head unit will tell it to turn on and off. I'd mount the amp in a nice dry spot in the front trunk and somehow run your wires into the car. I'd run the positive cable straight to the battery with an inline fuse. I'd ground the amp in the same place as the head unit to prevent a ground loop. That one 8" sub shouldn't rattle your car that much.
