Subwoofers/Enlcosures

Is there somewhere (online) that people showcase & give details of how they added aftermarket equipment to the RX8? Specifically in this case I am interested in adding subwoofers. I have seen a few pictures but no one has posted any details such as box diminsions, how they interfaced the amp. in with the existing system (speaker-level converter, Differential->Rca Line level,etc). Does anyone have any recommendations on the best place to route the power supply wires from the battery back to the trunk to power the external amp? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

...lol...oh, believe me I have....I have been doing quite a lot of reading, sometimes
to the point of getting overwhelmed with the number of results that get returned on some searches. Speaking of searching, do you know if the search honors AND and OR keywords or does it just treat them as search terms?

Thanks for the tip on wire routing.
