Default Retrofitting Logic 7 in the Glovebox

Hi guys,

I installed HiFi stereo system in my car few days ago, but I came across a Logic 7 set, which I bought

My idea is to install the amplifier somewhere around the glove box, because there is already an optic outlet and I won't need to pull cables to the trunk.

This way I can use the OEM cables and the ones I pulled to the sub-woofers and the only cables which I need to pull are the ones to the rear door panels (total of 4 cables).

My only concern is the heating of the amplifier, what do you think? Can someone with L7 tell me how hot does the amplifier gets?

If my idea is not a good one, can someone tell me is it possible to use the optic, which I have already pulled in the trunk for my bluetooth module? Can I make something like a branch and attache both devices there? If yes, what connectors should I use?

yes you can use the optics in the rear. There are all the same loop anyway.

But how to cut the optic in order to add another device on the MOST circle? Is there a tutorial or something?

you dont cut the optic. There is an optic fiber junction box in the rear just behind the rear seat in the boot. Or you make up a loop between the module that has the optic fiber and the new one you want to attach.
