thats strange how a after market head unit can completly change the sound of the sub, atleast im hoping it will

sort of noticed the sub wasnt loud enought when i could still breath properly and the car wasnt vibrating like crazy... like all them vids on youtube :P

tomorow ill go and get some tnuts, and some bolts to fit through the surround, and re do all that, then when ever the hu is instock ill order it.

damn thats going to be crazy, looks alittle close to the seat? or is that just me

Yeah I definitely stopped buying equipment from car audio shops years ago once I noticed the price difference online.

Things have changed as of late, net prices have crept up (shipping anyone???) and b&m prices have crept down. In some cases, it may be better to buy b&m. I bought the 8 id8's in my sig from b&m store, rather than from woofers etc., I ended up paying 20 dollars more for the whole thing, but ended up with a local 2 year over the counter exchange, which kicks the shit out of what woofers etc will do for you.

Never had that problem, 9 out of 10 times online is cheaper for car audio than a local store (Im always going to shops and comparing there prices and they have dropped some but not to how how low they are online). I dont really care for warranties since products usually f-up once a warranty is over with anyway, unless you baby them like me then they last longer.

To the OP why dont you wall it or face it up. Did you think about laying the back seats down and placing the box on them?

nah it just looks like that, but theres plenty of room,

also i was thinking about putting the back seats down but then the box will be at least 5" or so higher, im thinking of strapping it down to the seats a little so it doesnt move around so much while driving.
