I'd recommend a custom job at a local shop...save yourself the neck sprain...it's worth it.

Default I agree with CanuckRS4... get some quotes for a simple (but good) sealed enclosure.

I have a picture in my head of how I'd do it, but it actually takes some experience to make a good, properly sealed box that will hold up well to the forces it's subjected to (both internal and external).

Default Sub Mod Pics!

Well it sounds awesome! I am a bit disappointed in the mismatch on the carpeting, thought they could have gotten a closer match than that, but they showed me all they had and this was the closest. May have the carpet redone in the future when I find a better match.

So first song, how appropriate, one of my all time favorites on Sirius came on: Lithium by Nirvana.

BTW my stock tires suck in the snow and ice. Kryptonik I hope those rims get here fast!

Default Looks pretty good! I would get a more full grille if you can find one

I wouldn't want that surround to get messed up.

Default Looks like a great "easy" stereo mod... do you have to remove the stock sub?

in order to hear the bass? I would be concerned about increased exhaust noise if that was the case, no?

I didn't remove my stock sub. Just disconnected and left it.
