Carpet came in finally. I will say that I’m not an upholstery guy but I got it done. I still want to see if I can get the wires a bit cleaner but here it is.

The sound is ridiculous. I need to find someone to tune it.

Looks good! If I were you I would look for a steel mesh grill like I have if you ever put anything in the trunk. Just to be safe.

I have the same sub in the trunk of my vert C5 and I definitely added the steel mesh that rockford makes for that sub. It helps A LOT.

It will be hard to "tune" without a DSP...but you can still use a Mic/RTA and just the HU to get you close. If you're ever headed to the Raleigh NC area, shoot me a PM.

Thanks Pb82, I will take you up on the offer if I make it down that way.

sometimes tuning is as simple as someone with a good ear you trust dialing it all in...gains, crossovers, etc. A RTA and mic set up is a great tool, I have one and use AC products, but 'ears' are much more valuable. Find a dealer you trust and pay attention to what they build and do. It will be obvious if they are just doing subs and amps or if they really know what they are doing. Those brick and mortar shops have their value 100%.
