I also used the stuffing from an old seat cushion to fill the area directly behind the door speakers. Thankfully I got the amp from Crutchfield because bridging by the instructions was not within my abilities. Their support rocks and justifies the slightly higher cost for me.
I am impressed. The gain is set to MIN and I am getting volume and clarity and a ton more thump. I am also hearing that background hiss at a very low but noticeable level as has been posted by others. If anyone figures that out I would love to be rid of it. Roughly a $400 upgrade over stock audio and worth every cent. Highly recommended and relatively easy once you wrap your head around the wiring nest.
