Subwoofer installation

Has anyone done it yet? I have not seen any threads about installing aftermarket subs/amps yet.

Thanks. Your original response made me think you were a shop that was doing it, and wanted to hide your methods, and only use PM to discuss, trying to drum up business. My apologies for assuming.

I am located near Pasadena, CA. Please post pics! Hahaha, how did you hook up the amp? Did you tap it into the HK sound system (if you have HK)?

I used a technic harness, and made it all plug and play. I will get my car back Friday and post pics. It's a perfect addition to the HK system!

Here is a pic I had my installer send me when he was building it. I'll get more pics soon.

Stupid iPhone app didn't attach the pic.

That is essentially what I was looking to do! I understand the exact carpet is not available in the US, so I have heard the challenge is finding a carpet which will match ours perfectly. It's oddly much more difficult to color match this than it seems it should be.

You can find a similar enough color, and dye it lighter or darker to suite your needs.

Looks good, and looks like exactly what I want. Definitely a well done install, so far, it seems.

Post pictures of the rear deck. I was looking at it last week and it looked like the only way to do freeair would be to cut the rear deck.

You could put a board against the back seat and put them there. You would loose the folding option for seats but you could easily have 2 12/15's there.
