Message	I had done some speaker, sub, and amp installations in other cars but decided to have it done professionally in the Z. Took my amp and sub (which is just in a standard QLogic box) to a shop and let 'em go to work, figuring they would mount the amp under or behind the seat. (Hindsight is 20/20; I should have asked them about all this beforehand.) They just mounted the amp to the back of the subwoofer box in the hatch area. As it turns out, I'm pretty happy with the set-up. It's hidden from view when the hatch shade is in use, the wire runs from the amp to the sub are miniscule and out of sight, and overall, it looks pretty clean. I'm sure these other guys will point out any potential downsides to this setup, but I've been happy with it. Keeps everything in one tidy package (which can be removed pretty easily if I need extra space in the trunk).
