All the more reason to get the 4 channel amp and placing it in the factory location.
For future reference just ignore all "peak" power numbers. Additionally ignore the cumulative power rating. i.e. 1000w = 250x4. Just call it a 250x4 not a 1000w amp.
I'm not sure your math is right on the 2ohm vs 4ohm sub amp.

My upgrades in a nutshell:
- (installing using the )
- Autotek Monoblock Amplfier (will be center-mounted in the trunk)
- Two (installed in custom fabbed enclosures on both sides of the trunk) wired for 2 ohms
- OEM 4" Pioneer Speakers (any ideas on how to go about retaining the OEM speakers?)
- OEM Subwoofer Delete

Only a month into it & I wanna change my set up. A 8" PPI under OEM location in a sealed box hanging below the deck lid is just not cutting it. Anything under mid volume is fine but above that it resonates/buzzes ridiculously especially songs with punchy bass lines. The speaker grill moves some & the cloth also flaps around like crazy. Some tracks I cant even listen to loud (hip hop primarily). Gain is set on minimum from my 300w JL amp which has so much more potential...
...So I ordered a JL 10w3, I need to make it work. I also want trunk space & access to a spare. Ideally I want to hang another box from the deck lid so I can have all my floor space. I know its a structural component but is it worth taking another risk with the possibility of more vibration with added weight of new goods ?? Im primarily after a custom fitted box & no fibreglass. It seems few LS's have custom boxes so Im running short on ideas. Thx.

My plan, however far down the line i get to it, was to box out the trunk similar but different to the pic Scope posted:
run dual 10s on the sides above the pockets, amps and air manifold recessed into and across a floating false wall infront of the tank, hang my air from the deck lid and mount the pumps into the little pockets beneath the subs. That way I could still keep a spare tire in off chance I needed it while maximizing trunk space and keeping a semi stock look! "Just another stock LS" has been said a few times around here and I sort of want to keep that idea going throughout the car with the odd deviation for creature comfort and style.
A lot of the trunk setups I have seen over the years are always a poor use of space and are organized in a way that is better suited to show off everything rather than contain everything. Granted most people attempt to show their cars so that only makes sense...

I was thinking that may be the best solution. I wanna relocate the integrated tool box & place the box with flush panel on the passenger side corner pocket to offset some driver weight. It's likely to intrude into the trunk opening a few inches. I'll just keep looking at it for ideas.
