Blaupunkt PA-4100 but some have expressed concerns about reliability...

There's been a lot of discussion about these...

Yup...you can basically fit any amp back there. Note though that it takes away from how far back you can recline/scoot the seat back

Wow...well, I'm guessing you want a value amp then...look at US Acoustics or Autotek. Or if you want a Nakamichi, you can look at mine (see my sig )

But in your situation, I'd recommend just not getting the amp and making sure you can keep up with your monthly payment for the car

After all, what good is a nice stereo if the repo-man takes your S away?

Just out of curiosity, how do you adjust the setting of the amp if it's under the seat?
