Well I have finally got it underway. I am installing my car pc in my 2011 Subaru legacy. Purchased from Quality Subaru, Wallingford CT. I am just in the beginning stages of the project. I think the hardest thing of the install is trying to figure out where to put the hardware. I chose the trunk over the spare tire. Subaru has this nice foam piece that covers the tire, I decided to hack it up to mount the amp and the computer. The only problem I see in this spot is cooling. You can see from my pic (Done in Paint) i am thinking about putting in 4 fans to help in the process of cooling. What do you think?
More to come
Thanks
Mike

You will see that subaru does a nice job with there wiring. They have nice runway. I just used that to add in my wires. Nice and clean. Also had nice gromets ready to sneak the power wires threw. Props to subaru for this. Car was designed to run cables
