They bolt it using the ties it has on the floor. The thing doesn't move and i can't see the bolts. They also mounted the amp and cleansweeps where the factory bose sub was so its all out of sight! 25 extra lbs for the sub but you are also removing the factory sub and box… weighs less than 3lbs. So grab a DiabloTune, WeaponX TB and an aFe intake and you'll overcompensate for it! Again I am an audiophile and did not crave this until i heard it… If you love the Bose.. stick with it, Im in Delray Beach if anyone wants a listen!!! Literally live concert quality! Keep ya posted
I'm in Delray as well. AW Z51 coupe. Who did the install?
The box design is pretty ingenious. Two 10" subs, firing down into an air gap, so the speakers themselves aren't visible after installation. The unit overhangs the raised area of the rear deck. Can't wait to hear it! Mine is being installed today, along with two sets of Hertz component speakers, the Audison Bit Ten processor and the JL Audio 900/5 amp.
The sad part is that as cheap as the OE system is (and I've had it out to look), it actually doesn't sound that bad. The subwoofer hits harder than I would imagine it should for the size, so the car must have decent acoustics if paper cheapies and two 3/4" Ti dome tweeters can sound halfway decent.
Looking forward to this!
All car stuff sounds a little weak when you listen to 1500 watts rms of pure sound at home! Agree the Bose stuff is total hype!
Coming soon… and let me tell you… THIS SYSTEM IS INSANE! The Bose system they took out will have you very disappointed. I wasn't even that disturbed by the factory system until i saw how poorly made they really were… once again Bose is all marketing. The JL system is absolute audio heaven, eargasmsic!!!
2 10's behind the seats. Roof still stows away. Full costco run still fits in the back!

I wouldn't mind changing out the door speakers if that's really where the bass is coming from.

Any solutions or ideas on how to add a true high end head unit in these cars yet? Maybe a single din in the glove box ran separate from the integrated dash screen
