Front stage is still a work in progress. Cheap alpine h.u. soon to be replaced with a pioneer avic. All the interior speakers are stock, im looking at components as soon as the avic is in. 6x9's will probably come last.

Oh me likes... I got the same sub. and i'm running just one 12" as well. I'm just running an Interfire class D amp pushing 1000rms.

The thumpin' is good enough for me. The only thing I dislike about my setup is the rattling on the trunk...

not bad.... i see that you had a little trouble following the cars contours for the cut out ;)


Thats not an easy task, i did the same with my install. i like the flush look, hows the bass response? u get the dual 4 ohm sub? how are u running that ?

haha yeah its tough to fit all the curves perfectly
bass response seems good thus far, and yes its the dual 4 ohm, i have it wired at 2 ohms, getting 400 watts rms

eh.. i had the smae sub as yours in a ported probox with a JL 500/1 and at high volumes, this subs starts to distort big time, but at low-moderate volumes, it sounds great

THen i switched to a JL 12W6 in a custom ported box and loved it because the bass was much tighter and the music sounded better.

but then shortly after that, i traded a guy my 12w6 for 2 10w3v2 in a dual vented box which has a thickness of 1" and im never looking back.. lol
