Yes, there is no room behind the HU. i stuck it behind the passenger dash piece. Then wound some electrical tape around it.

Late answer, but technically yes it is bridgeable and 2 ohm stable, but not suggested by Alpine.
how do I go about bridging it?
So has anyone bridged this yet? How did you do it, did you rewire the harness/connector?

Also curious if anyone has bridged the KTP successfully... I'm going to run 1 set of components and would love to give them a bit more power.

Does anyone have any additional mounting suggestions on an AP2 (2008) that haven't been mentioned?

Thanks

Installed this with a alpine cde-123 head unit if I remember correctly. Also installed Polk db651 coaxial speakers. Sounds pretty good for what it is. Turn it up past like 21 and the distorsion comes in like you flipped a switch. Changing the gaim from high to low doesn't seem to help. Neither does turning off the loud function on the head unit. Its loud at that volume but I want to hear the music loud with the top down at 70mph or more.

I also tried bridging it best I know how using a guide on ehow.com and get no sound at all. If anyone can offer bridging help it would be great. I think I need the extra power to prevent the distortion at higher volume since my speakers are under powered in this setup.

I placed mine under the passenger floor mat as far up as possible. I almost had it inside the dash but couldn't close it all the way.

Mine is in the passenger dash, but I have a 2005 so there's no pocket to contend with

Did you mount it to the floor or is it just loose under the mat?

It's loose under the mat, but it stays in place though. I'll upload some pics tonight.

Oh OK, thanks, I need to secure mine somewhere with screws / zip ties so it doesn't fly around when I autocross.
