Sub and Amp mounting locations on a FD?

Im working on my new sound system for my car, nothing too big. I have a 5 channel amp from Infinity that is pretty big as well as a 10" sub. Im trying to figure out how to mount these in the car so they look good. I have heard of people putting them in the spare tire well. Anyone have any write-ups on how to do this? Im a bit new at this

Also, I'm in the process of installing a Pioneer Avic-D3, and it doesnt look like i have any sort of mounting kit to get it in there. How did the RX-7 stock radio fit in there? I think i might be missing something...

Thanks for all your help!

this is mine, I might do a custom amp rack sometime, depends how busy i am next semester. I was going to mount the amp behind the divider but i must have measured wrong and their was not enough room to fit it and have it properly cooled.

How i started:

start with something small until you get the hang of it. Its a lot easier than it looks, it just takes sometime getting used to the different properties of fiberglass. Or you could pay someone a ridiculous amount of money to do one for you. To build what I built probably cost me $50 for supplies and $150 to getting painted a Lexus black at a Lexus collision center.
