Needed to get the amp rack installed and I went with the previously coordinated location, the well on the driver’s side. A mount was constructed so the MVi amplifier pair and MVi hub would be compact.
These amps work well for this application because they have everything on one end.

I added a fuse holder where it would be accessible and protected.
Then I could start testing and seeing what I like and don’t like. Once everything is finalized, I will shorten cables and finalize routing. For now, flexibility was important. All of this is covered by the factory side panels anyway.
For tuning, I configured the MV600/6i amplifier so I could see signals and correct them.
This is the factory EQ signal that we are trying to fix:
