I'm looking to ditch my infinity sound system as well! Definitely doesn't sound as good as I thought it would.

the infinity amp is a 6/8 channel. 2 for l r tweets, 2 for l r mids (or just bridged but I believe 8 challels). 2 for roll bars and 2 for sub. same watts per channel so sub is only gettin 2x the power of any other speaker when it should be getting at least 5x+

Under steering wheel above the clutch pedal. Mounted vertically, you have to take the driver side dash speaker box out to get to it. Total pita.

In my 07 I can take it out by removing the steering column panel and the little panel below it, unscrew and unplug the amp and pull it out through the back by the pedals. I would think that this would work on newer models but I'm not for sure...
