Droo,
I don't know if they changed any dash internals, but I've got 2 200x2 PPI
amps mounted on my firewall in front of the glove compartemnt box in my
truck, and a small 300x1 sub amp mounted under my driver seat. To mount the
amps to the firewall like that took some creativity and I had to route stuff
all over the place. Depending on how creative you get, you might be able to
get that monster Alpine amp in there, I think the combined area of the 2 PPI
amps is a little bigger than that. I did it the day I got the truck and
tuned it right up then...it's next to impossible to get at them without
taking the dash off again. Depending on how you use your truck, you could
even mount it on an angle behind the driver's seat, or take out the center
console like Gary suggested and mount it under there. I'd have loved to get
a single 5 channel amp, but had to split it up because of the space
issues...
Good Luck and keep us posted!
