i have,any obvous ports thru the firewall like are present on a gp are absent here,most of the wires/cables that pass thru are run thru ports i cant really use or modify.

i do cuz the stuff i use(drills,tools etc) belong to the guy i rent from,so breaking them isnt the best option.

Just use the biggest drill bit you have and just round out the hole with the bit.

im puttin in the stuff i already own w/ consist of a crunch 600watt 2ch amp(not the permanent set up but it worx for now),2 12" hifonics brutus subs in a ported box. for a small amp the subs sound amazing and i have a 4ch mounted to my box but im not hooking it up yet because my 6x9s are stock for now and my 4x6s in the doors are direct drop-in oem equivalents..so idk bout amping them.
