Update, Murdermat came in. Sub finally in box and in car, not deadened yet. Will post up some videos of flex and what not tomorrow. Will also post pics of Murdermat.

Pics of box in car:

Yay no trunk left...

And actually the way its in there i can't even put my back seat back in... Will have to see if i can turn it while it's in the trunk. Will also post some pics of the box out of the trunk tomorrow as well. Would do it now, but damn this thing is pucking heavy to pick up alone... Plan on glassing the outside this weekend and painting. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to put on the bottom of the box so it will slide easier??

I don't think you would want it to slide around back there getting dinged up. As for the rear you could run a set of coax for fill, and a put a nice set of comps up front if you don't have it yet.

Props for scoring the Xcon at a great price and thanks for serving. Semper Fi, I'm a former Marine.
