Thanks for the replies. The Rockford looks affordable, but it probably won't fit under the seats. The Blaupunkd, JL Audio, and Alpines look like they'll fit under the seats.
  • JL Audio HD600/4:..........fits........(*$799)...............10-3/4" W x 2" H x 7-7/8" D...150x4;300x2
  • Sony XM-4S..................fits........(**$125)...............7-3/4" W x 1-3/4" H x 8-7/8" D...50/60x4
  • Alpine PDX-5.............might fit.....(*$599,**$550)....10-3/16"W x 2-1/2"H x 8-3/8"D...75x4+300;150x2+300
  • Alpine PDX-4.150.......might fit.....(*$700,**$420)....10-3/16"W x 2-1/2"H x 8-7/8"D...150x4;300x2
  • Alpine PDX-4.100.......might fit.....(*500, **$330).....10-3/16"W x 2-1/2"H x 8-1/2"D...100x4;200x2
  • Blaupunkt THA475PnP:...might fit..(*$349)...............11-1/4" W x 1-11/16" H x 7-1/4" D...75x4;180x2
  • Rockford Fosgate Punch P450.4:....(*$199)...............16-7/16"W x 2-1/16" H x 11-1/8" D
* = Crutchfield.........** = SoniceElectronix
I mainly took the local shop's word for it that the JL (and I guess the Blaupunkd) would fit under the seat. I have no idea how they'd secure it. They said they've install stuff in Fits before. I wanna double-check w/ them.

I took some quick measurements of the space under the seats...both came out to:
(w) 13" x (h) ~2 1/2" (d) 7 1/2"

These measurements were w/ the Honda all-season mats. I'm guessing that if I install the amp under the seat....I won't be able to use the mats. Here's some pics:
(passenger side)

(driver side)


With the depth of 7 1/2 above...I don't think it'll be completely hidden. I dunno...

Also, is the gas tank under both seats? Here's a pick of the bare floor:


I also pulled the glove box (again) to double-check the space available in there...and I don't think the JL or Blaupunkt could fit in there. The glove box itself look like it'll take up most of the available space. Here's a pic:


*Note: I couldn't re-install the two 8mm screws under the glove box after I took them out tonight. Stupid screws wouldn't thread. Left 'em off for now. I need to Mcgyver something to get them to thread...or do something else. Frackin' screws!!!

Here's some pics of "under" the glove box (w/ and w/o plastic cover)




I'm gonna run some of these options by my local audio shop.

Thanks again for the help.
