Since there is a larger speaker mounted, do you do anything with the opening in the factory panel? I am asking because I am in the process of building storage drawers in the rear and want to allow for room for the sub woofer upgrade.

Awesome. Thanks for the head's up. It'll be a bit, but I'll be sure to post up pics of mine when she's done.There was this one https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/111158-replacement-upgrade-subwoofer-project-update.html . Don't give this guy any money though. He owes about half a million towards a boat fraud case.

Nice product you guys have there. I am doing some prep work to install a ppure sine inverter into my 97 LC80. Inside the rear panel is a good candidate but was stuggling on how to mount it. Any Ideas??
Still looking for how folks have setup the wiring to the amp - using the stock wiring from the stock amp. My amp has high level inputs so no RCA required, just using the wiring from the stock setup. Can't seem to get the remote to kick on the amp with the head unit - do I need a dedicated wire??? The gray has 12V and the Red-Black remote has 2+V. Would like to hear back if you have a simialr setup. Thanks.
We have an inverter project started for the 80. When the prototype is finalized, I'll start a new post on this as well...

I would be interested in a simple mounting bracket similar to your amplifier one but for the entire vertical space there between the cubby and the D pillar. It could be left blank and used to mount fuse blocks, inverters and all sorts of good stuff.

Updates?
After the amplifier was squared away, then it was time to mount the sub woofer. Again Whole Hog has a technical reference page to identify available speakers for this mounting location at wholehogtech dot com. We used a Pioneer TS-SW841D shallow mount speaker here. You have 3-1/2 inches behind the mounting plate to work with.
Technical reference for sub woofer model information at www.wholehogtech.com
The Whole Hog mounting plate allows speakers with six (6) or eight (8) mounting bolt patterns at several different orientations. If the speaker fits in the mounting depth requirements and is of the 8 inch sub woofer variety, odds are that it will bolt right up.
After mounting the sub woofer to the plate, we attached the appropriate electrical connections. Prior to attaching power to the amplifier, make sure to disconnect the negative battery terminal on the vehicle to prevent shorts.
During our installation, we ran audio cables down the passenger door sills and the positive power cable along the driver door sills to prevent potential interference problems. There are several good grounding points at the passenger rear corner of the vehicle (make sure you don't try to use one of the isolated bolts for the factory rear bumper though...)
