CAMARO6 - Amp Install Non-Bose System

Just finished up my install on a 2018 Camaro Non Bose system. I started out by getting some MDF board from Home Depot and cut out the corner for the rear fuse box to have a solid base to mount the amplifier. I then made a template of the board and drilled the necessary holes for the studs sticking up from the bottom of the trunk. I then drilled holes in the MDF board to mount the amplifier with bolts sticking up from the bottom, along with regular washers and lock washers and a nut on the end to ensure the amp would stay securely mounted (which may have been a bit overkill lol). I found some nuts which fit the studs to tighten the board to the bottom of the vehicle and wrenched them down. Once the base was secure I moved on to wiring the amplifier. I ran power, fuse and ground for the amp to the existing sources on the vehicle. I used the T-Harness and connected both front channels to my line output converter. I then ran both power and ground for the converter to the other sources already on the vehicle. I ran the remote wire from the converter to the amp and connected the RCA cables. I then used some Velcro adhesive to secure the output converter and fuse to the MDF board. I cleaned up some of the wires with zip ties and split loom then tested the system. Everything is working properly and I am currently just waiting for my subwoofer box to arrive to finish mounting the speakers. Overall, the install was pretty simple and not having to cut into any stock wires is always a plus. I plan to upgrade my monoblock amplifier in the spring to a 5 channel which would allow me to amplify all the door speakers and run subs as well. Hopefully this post will help give some ideas to those thinking about installing another amp as well.
