New amp install with factory HK system.

If it's the VE1300.11SP, that's a good power reserve, sampling at 96 khz, AKM Velvet Sound chipset, sounds pretty good to me.

Take the opportunity to add a shielded USB extension cable, so you can make adjustments with your PC from the driver's seat.

It has onboard bluetooth with a phone app linked to my phone. DSP functions adjustable from phone.

I like the solution using those 2 bottom bolts with brackets. I may have to crib that as mine is the same location, but laying flat on top of a piece of foam board for the time being. Going to use the Technic PNP harness with LOC?

I used that grounding bolt to the right of your amp with the brown wires attached. I was wondering if that was enough for a 4 gauge ground...

Please share more pics as you go, looks great!

I was happy that I was able to keep the storage pocket in play. I thought about using the ground bolt with the brown wires also, but then just decided to ground at same location that negative of battery is grounded to.

Yea, that was my original plan, but my terminal connector was too small for that bolt. May still switch to that one tho since I recall hearing that having a beefier ground can help with power delivery.

Lost the storage pocket here, but the sub is one of those stealth/corner wheel well ones, so it was moot.

What size subs you going with?

I going to replace the under seat 8” and hopefully that will satisfy me. Ci5 S200FM-S2

Those look nice. I may do that next to supplement the rear subs. That way could bass match the front and rear. Let me know how they sound!
