I just had mine out yesterday. There are 2 small cubbys under the seats, but there will not be ANY ventition-and amps need air. Even a fan would not help, since I do not believe there will be any source of air to blow from. It would be fine for cross overs, distribution blocks, etc.

cj first off your are welcome. 2nd off glad you got everything. you will be a very happy man trust me. did you get a different head unit or are you using the stock one? as for the pioneer versus alpine in head units, this one is a very hard one for me. i like pioneers but the alpine just had so much more, and i really liked that i could control my amps from the hu, and that pretty much sold me on it. i had some pioneers that when subs where hooked up i couldnt control them and had problems tuning me system and got way to much bass because of it. if i had to do it over again kenwood kdc-889 or alpine 9855 would be the only choice. i will eventually most likely getting ride of the 9855 i got to got to a double din kenwood dvd player unless i find an alpine that does what i want. Back on topic cj have fun installing and make sure you get that second battery like i have in that diagram, 3 amps might be a little much for the stock hhr battery, better save than sorry.

Yep There are 2 bolts for the 60% part and 1 for the small section, then the seat pivots. And they have these strange rectangular washers attached that must be in the right position to secure the plastic cover.
