I've seen a few tiny 2- and 4-channel amps offered by Massive and Arc - if there are others please let me know.
The Massive BX2 does 120Wx2 at 5.0"x6.3"x1.6"!
I'm gonna try the Power Pack first to see if that satisfies me before pursuing some other options...

If you're going to do all of that, I guess I don't see the point of using the Power Pack. Why not just a regular amp?

This is the other amp I'm looking at aside from the Power Pack:

The specs on that little guy are pretty impressive. I've never been a fan of anything RF - but I haven't heard anything they've made in ~4 years so maybe things have changed?
I'm going to start a new thread to discuss ultra-compact amps that could possibly fit inside the passenger dash. Sorry OP!

Def an improvement, the clarity and depth of sound is better and the doors feel solid. The shop used a single layer I believe, traced to the exact shape of the inside of the doors. Surprisingly it seems I don't need it for the trunk, not much vibration in the trunk lid. I'm still figuring out the tuning on the HU. I may try some of the presets from Alpine specifically made for the car via the tune it app.
