What do you mean you are putting the amp in your dash? You also say that you will have room after removing your stereo, but aren't you putting the Empeg in there? Pretty much all amps are big, small amps just can't compare to a good sized amp in general. This is because the more room you have in an amp the less crosstalk you have between circuits. You can also fit bigger components in to get more power out of it. An amp is usually placed in the trunk or under a front seat.
