The guys at 914Rubber were nice enough to send me the subwoofer box for the passenger floor, and will also be sending the retrofitted speaker mounts in the next week or two.

My amp will arrive tomorrow....

Question is... where did you all put your amp's?

I assume the back trunk is best and it is small enough to still allow for storage of the top, but what did you do to keep it from sliding around? building a box?

I hate to actually screw it into the truck...

It may fit under the dash or center console if you have one. Just make sure it has air flow, bc those things can get hot! If you drill/screw into the front trunk wall, make sure you don't accidentally perforate the gas tank, even a tiny tiny bit. Otherwise, wiring should be easy. Lots of people run a direct hot wire from the battery, just make sure it's properly fused. Securely ground directly to the body somewhere close to the amp.
