Sub installed:









One 12 inch kicker comp sub with a 300watt amp (came as a complete package I purchased from ebay) the sub hits pretty hard for how small the amp is. I wouldn't mind a bigger amp/more powerful sub but this gets the job done, at some point I'll match the box carpeting to the rest and find a kit that will conceal the amp, but for the time being, I'm happy with the overall outcome.

Timinator, this is just an idea, and far be it that I spend another person's money, check this website out, maybe store away the idea for the future....

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been on the forum in a couple days, but thanks for sharing the website. It's funny that you posted that because I wanted to get rid of the tan carpeting in the car and replace it with black carpeting and was wondering a good place/website to get em from. Much appreciated

Anytime, Pilgrim. Not to cause any more confusion, but if you look at their samples, there are a number of blues available, and they will send you samples for free...... Just sayin...

Looks good! I had a kicker solo classic similar to your sub for a while.

You need to get a sub grill so you don't have to worry about anything damaging the sub back there.

This is what I use with my current 12" SSA XCON.










Let me know if you want a kicker grill that will fit your sub, I have one in my garage.
