Power for amp through firewall? - Thanks!

[calimus@techography.net (Calimus)]

I mounted my 600w amp to the back of my speaker box that lives in the trunk.
With the fact that my faceplate flips over and looks like a blank and it's
also removeable, theres nothing for a thief to see.  I ran the monster cable
rca wires and the power wires under the little bit of carpet by the hood
release and then under the sill plates and along side the rear seat to the
back.  Unless someone really looks for it, it's not noticeable since theres
just a tiny bit of rca cable shoing where it comes from under the sill plate
and down beside the rear seat.

Mounting the amp to my trunk floor was a thought till I realized that the
gas tank was in the way and I didn't want the amp visable anyway so I just
mounted it to the speaker box.  Hope that gives ya a few options.
