Yeah, I have the Logic 7 system, which is where the EQ settings come from.

You can mount the amp underneath the rear deck in the trunk (the actual deck, opposite the floor). My buddy has a JL Audio 1000/1 mounted there, which is nearly double the width of my 500/1 and much heavier. Fits very well and looks quite clean.

I don't plan on messing with the components at all because I think this setup sounds very good as-is. I won't say that I haven't heard better, but the gains would be marginal for the additional $1000 (or more) that I'd end up spending to upgrade the rest.
