2 cents worth. I don't see any amp tray on list. I would start bye disconnecting battery then installing a good fender cover, pull tank if going to. then head unit mounted then amp in place but not mounted get power wires ran but not hooked up, move on to speakers run everything to amp turn gains to zero set freq. then install fuse holder hook up power. setup deck then tune system. Mount amp and clean up wires put back together.Plan on full day take your time.Enjoy

Edit: I just saw that your using the stock HU. Amp tray won't work with stock HU. At least theirs won't. Not sure about others. Sorry.
Edit2: BAB mount will work with the Sony HU. Sorry dude I'm off my game today.
What Haze recommended below will work too.

with that amp you need to raise it about 1/2 inch over the Sony HU to clear the fairing brackets. I've used a simple piece of sheet metal shaped like an upside U. You need some RCA's too. Set your gains around 11-12oclock, HPF to full pass on the amp. Then set the HPF at 80hz slope 1 on the HU.

Merry Christmas to my brothers & sisters...
The following items arrived from Amazon USA...
- Infinity Kappa 62.11I
- Soundstream PN4.1000D
- Boss Audio KIT2 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit
About Boss Audio cables, is 3ft ground cable enough to reach the battery terminal, or should it be grounded to somewhere else?
EDIT:
The SS Amp manual states to be grounded to chassis ground terminal.
