Those A/D/S/ RS.2 subs are dual 4 ohms right. Why get a 2 channel amp? Why not get something Class D that will put out about 1000w x 1 at 1 ohm. You can wire your subs in parallel for a 1 ohm load. A class D will also take a huge load off your elextrical system when compared to a Class AB 500w x2 amplifier!

Check out DEI 1100D
Memphis 1500D

And many many others out there right now.

You just want pictures of trunks or TL trunks in particular? www.sounddomain.com has some under the member pages www.iasca.com also has some. I have not seen too many TL installs on these sites though. You would be better off asking some of the guys here to show you their installs. those two sites do offer a lot of pictures of installs in other cars though, which should give you some general ideas to use in your install.

Good luck!

P.S. WHere are you planning on buying that DEI amp?
