    Subwoofer and amp install ideas

    Looking for some inspiration regarding clean installs for subwoofer and amplifiers in e36 trunk! I admit i lack creative ability, i mean i still cannot even draw stick figures... i have my sound system installed, but im looking to route my cables neatly and RETAIN as much trunk space as possible. Most of the setups i see are amazing, but they completely or mostly render the trunk space full. Id love to see some pictures of yall setups, or good examples youve seen!

    It's a bit like having your cake and eat it too.

    My amp and sub setup in and E36 sedan with fold down rear seats;

    -10" JL Audio sub in a box that sits on top of the battery, does not take any space into the center of the car, over the spare.
    - Alpine 5-channel amp mounted underneath the rear deck, just to the inside of the passengers rear speaker. I also have a large capacitor mounted just over the rear right shock.
    - I have 2, 3-way crossovers mounted to the factory amp bracket for the front speakers. It is behind the left side trunk liner and out of sight.
    - I have a sound processor mounted to ^^^ trunk liner.

    To do it over again, I would mount it to the drivers side of the spare tire in the large black plastic cover and the amp too. I would have a few 12v fans circulating air to them.

    I have a sweet tooth.

    Aj do you have an instagram id love to see what you did. Also what kind of watt rms does your 5 channel amp run? Does that power the sub as well as speakers?
