Amp Speaker Question

Hello,
I'm in the process of installing a Infinity 465a amp. I mounted it to a piece of 1" pressboard and put it under the foam in the back. I had to cut one of the legs of the foam down so the foam woudl fit flush. I Also had to do some fancy cutting of the mounting board to make it fit over the bolts sticking up out of the floor! lol It turned out pretty good and dosen't move around.

I installed the rear speakers today too. Because I had already run the speaker wires from the HU to the rear prior to buying the amp and the speakers, I hooked them up to the head unit just to see how it would sound. I like the sound because it fills the car better. The Kenwood DNX8120 has surround sound and SRS Wow and it sounds pretty good when its set up right. Tomorrow I will finish installing the amp. I have already run the power wire from the battery to the amp (not connected yet)

The reason I was waiting to finish installing the amp is that I was waiting for my Swi-Jack and rearview cam to come in so I don't have to keep taking the dash apart. Well the Swi-Jack came in but the cam didn't so I bought a video cable so I can install everything and just connect the cam when it comes in.

I've had every body panel out of the car twice now. It really isn't that hard to do if you do it in the right order.

Once again thanks for the advice and help.
Willie
