It required unbloting i think 6 bolts to get access to the back wall...some of the bolts are a p.i.t.a I didnt have an 04-08 so i dont know what was involved in removing the seat

That looks huge. I thought you were concerned about the sub taking up the load flat floor?

Barritia,

had a couple of questions:
1) the grey jump plug that you're using - I used to use those in racing - where did you buy yours and are you using it so that you can have a quick disconnect of the sub?
2) Are you using the factory head unit? If so, are you using a line out converter like an Audiocontrol LC6 or some other device?
3) for the angles on your sub box, did you just screw them in on that angle and use some liquid nails or did you have another way of fastening the box together?

Thanks and really nice work.

I purcahsed the grey plug from the shop who fitted my alarm and they wernt cheap but you can get them from here on line. http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/S...d/0/rid/123284
I used a adaptor for the wireing for the plug that plugs into the stock amp so that i can disconnect the box just like i do with standard setup. It's just a female for amp bypass with the wires coming out that are connected to my new amp.

I am not using any type of converter as i tested my levels with a meter and they were just right for low level input into the JL amp.

I used wood glue and long screws and pilot holed everyhole. It took a long while but it aint coming apart. The hardest bit was sealing the wires going inot the box so that air wouldnt leak. also a good idea to silicon the angles inside the box just to be sure that you got it all sealed well.

Hey Barritia, first I would like to say great job on your install. Can you tell me which of the wires heading to the factory amp are for the signal?
