before you get to ripping out your dash, that PAC adaptor won't work on the 4.2" sync if thats what you have. I see you have and STX but thought it may still be a possibility.

Finished my install turns out amps fit almost perfectly under the front seats and under the jump seat is a wonderful place to run all wires as well as make the ground took some work especially running speaker wires throufh the molex but i got it done not without a casualty though a drill bit into the cone of the mid bass on my type r components an expensive slip though currently working without much distortion its not sustainable took some pics was much too busy and impatient to be very detailed but will post my setup soon

I put a screwdriver bit through the surround of an alemental designs 12 inch sub. fortunately it was just a puncture, not a tear and it had mo effect on the performance of the sub
