Got to love trying to hide a hose under a thin carpet layer. And yes, you cant really tell its there, we did a great job.
Got any pics of how you ran the power cable through your fire wall?

I ran a rope generously along my planned route and I came out with 10', so I'm pretty comfortable with ordering an 11.5' cable.

prolly 6 feet is all you need if you're mounting under the driver's seat. unless you're going to run it to the back. but then i would make sure you have a cargo cover so it won't get jacked! i wouldn't mount the amp to the box either, they're vibration sensitive. You could do it if you want a short life for it. run the RCA's and power wire seperate just in case you get engine whine in your sound while driving.
