Hey just a quick observation from one audio installer to another...when you mount your amps, put some 4ga gromets or 8 ga if you have smaller area, under the amp feet and it will raise the amp where you can run the wires under and out the sides. Cleans up the install and makes it look hella neat.!!

yeah thanks dude I get what you are saying that was my idea but this install turned out to be more of a "pain" and that's the "neatest" I could get the wiring hahahaha
