Do I Need Any Electrical Upgrades for this Setup?

When I took the seat back off and measured I realized that if I mount the amps next to each other horizontally, then there will be almost no space between them.

I just noticed that you are in Tampa. You wouldn't happen to be taking a trip up 75 next weekend? If so, Valdosta is always a nice place to spend a Saturday working on a truck.

P.S. How much did you accomplish this weekend? Take any pics?
Good luck.

I finished the big three this evening, and it really wasn't that bad of a project. The only real issue I encountered was the fact that I could't find any pre-made cables of the right length with the ends that I needed. So I just had to make them, which wasn't too much trouble. I didn't get any pictures because it was dark when I finished, but I will try to post some tomorrow.
Right now I am pretty much just waiting for the rest of my stuff so that I can complete the project.
