I have mine and will post pics. Trying to get everything tuned. The stock nav head unit may be feeding the amp
a signal that has too low a voltage. I had to turn up bass boost on the amp.

Pics of RaamAudio sub box w/ Arc Audio 10" D4 sub. I am still trying to button everything up. I have a WeatherTech mat for the cargo area, which I will cut and place in the trunk (and partially under the sub).
I discovered that one channel of an interrconnect going to the sub amp was bad. I opened the console to access the interconnects vehind the head unit and fixed a short.
Still dialing everything in so I cannot comment on the sound. Trying to tune the sub and the component speakers. I did dial in some bass boost from the Arc Audio ks500.1 amp to compensate for the low voltage signal from the stock head unit. So far, the sub pounds.

Just a FYI: I ordered the VetteNuts corner vert boxes (2) last week, should get them this week <CLICK HERE>. They were a good price and hope they sound great, I went with the 10" subs ...

Shipped 4 coupe units, 8 more on the way so I have some available as soon as they arrive, 3 I believe, I have to go back over the list
I have one more here I am working on to fit my convertible, it is far more involved than I thought it would be and I have been swamped with regular business and getting one of my race cars and a trailer ready for sale. Sold the race car today, leaving here tomorrow, finishing the trailer so it can go out and almost done with it, then finally get back to the Vert sub enclosure.
That is unless my Featherlite toyhauler and duramax sell as they might shortly, then get them ready, then back to the Vert unit. I am in the middle of a major change in lifestyle, going to be much fun traveling with my wife, Akita and Irish Wolfhound

here is the sub box with my weather tech floor mat. the sub sits nicely in the corner of the hatch. i dialed in some bass boost on the arc audio amp (7 decibels), and after some listening i realized that i have way too much bass. the arc audio 10" sub installed in the RaamAudio box really pounds! when i turn up the volume i have an obnoxious amount of bass. time to dial back the bass boost.

I have 8 in stock, 10 more on the way soon, more subs coming in to put into them, etc......
I just tested and can also can fit the new Arc Black Series sub, super high end sub, a bit heavier than the regular and great Arc 10, I have to weight them and get the difference.
Both are excellent subs, I have sold many Arc 10's, quite a few to replace JL subs and all were happy with the upgrade.

Thank you for the info. Looks great . I will be starting my system very soon.
. I will be starting my system very soon.i am very happy with the sound. when i configured the arc ks500.1 amp i made the mistake of dialing in 7 db of bass boost. the bass was almost painful and i had to fade towards the front to get less bass. today i pulled out the amp carrier and made adjustments to the amp and dialed the bass boost to zero... it really is not necessary. the bass sounds natural and blends very nicely with the rest of the system. i am very pleased with the sound.
