yah im gonna try to squeeze two batteries in my stock location too. Gonna be a tight fit, and might have to modify the washer fluid tank alittle... okay alot

Ebay store "indoaudio" is being VERY professional about the amp being DOA,
They offered to pay my shipping to return the amp and to send me a replacement. They also extended my warranty another year to make up for it so I've got 4 years coverage now instead of 3. So it all worked out.

glad to hear they are making sure you are getting it taken care of, try to get that warranty extension written out on a hard copy

Its an appearance kind of thing, I know it may sound stupid, but thats what I wanted to do. To each there own you know.
And I "sit" corrected about the deadener being equal:o my bad
I thought I would clarify this statement a little, hopefully this drawing will help

Also found a way to keep my overhead rail bins from vibrating like h*ll.

Mat them

2=3/4" spacers for extra clearance of the pole piece venting, not necessary but I did anyway.
