Default 2014 amp install questions

I have a 2014 SGS that I'm putting a JL Audio M400/4 marine amp and Hertz HCX165 speakers. I ordered vtwin audio connectors to make cut free wiring. I ran my wires through the wire tray under the tank and ran a ground directly to the battery too. Looking for help with a few things.

1) Should I add any batting to the speaker pods?

2) What flash do I run?

3)What is a good way to mount the amp securely and cleanly to the radio? I'm thinking spacers and small bolts.

4) Anyone have a picture of an install?

5) Where do I put the gps antenna?

This thread will answer most of your flash questions:

On another note your JL amp is only pushing 75 watts at 4 ohms and your Hertz speakers are power hungry. Is this a 2 or 4 speaker set up?

Gannicus, I'm running 2 speakers.
Any advice about the batting? I'll button up the pods when my grills come in soon.

If we are talking Polyfill the standard is 3 12 x 12 thin sheets wrapped around the speakers.
