[QUOTE="PNW Mike, post: 1530470, member: 30494"] Sub is a Pioneer TS-WX400DA, see [URL]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_130TSWX400/Pioneer-TS-WX400DA.html[/URL]. It's not huge, I'm installing a modest system and i want to keep my spare tire. Many years ago I drilled into a fuel line while installing an amp under a seat in my first car, and that is an experience I'd like to avoid repeating. I was one small spark from a big problem, and the garage smelled like gas for a long time. As the line was lower than the tank, it siphoned a few gallons out on the floor before I could seal the hole. To the day that car got wrecked about a decade later, that metal fuel line had a piece of rubber fuel line split and clamped over the metal line to seal the hole. I never did get around to a better repair, and it held great despite it being a fuel injected car and that line having something like 50-60psi it in all the time. I'll take a peek above the tank with a borescope to see what's under the spot I'm considering. [/QUOTE]
