My box took me and my friend who is going for engineering a while to finally get in lol. Good luck and let us know how it turned out.
i'm not sure if there is room for adjustment on the latch for the trunk but it would be a good idea to take a sharpie marker and mark around the edges of the trunk so you know you have it back on in the exact same position so you don't have any issues with the trunk closing. just a thought....
personally i would take the back seats out.

yea but if you mark where the latch is you don't have to play around adjusting it since you are going to be very close to where it was installed from the factory. i mean why create extra work for yourself when it takes 5 seconds to mark it...as far as which why you want to go about putting your speakers in it's personal preference....to each their own

yeah sharpie would be easy and unseen afterwards. But y take the seats out when you dont have too. I hated doing it. But good point boosted. I can't wait to start my fiberglass enclosure, I might wrap in it CF if i get some $ together.

I know the sound diffrence is not as nice as a 12", but i had to switch to 3 10" boxes so I could fit them in the trunk. The car has a good size trunk, but the opening on both sides(outside and through the back seat) is just far to small. GM should rethink that one.

i'm sure GM is going to completely redesign their trunk openings so people can put bigger ****** sub boxes in their cars. come on now think about what you're typing before you hit the submit button LOL

i think that he means, in general, it's too small.

actually i think i'm right on...if you read his profile his hobby is building car stereo systems. if that's the case the first thing and possably the only thing he thinks of is how many subs he can fit in a trunk.

well i decided to get a new amp from future shop since it was on sale. I got a Rockford Punch 1 amp (P3001) 1 channel. And i asked one of their techs how much it would be to install the sub and amp but they said i would need a new headunit because it dosent have RCA outs.
I searched the forums but wasnt quite sure what some of the guys meant. Is it possible to get RCA cable and cut off one end and T splice it with one of the rear speakers and plugging the other end into the amp and using that to get a signal for the sub????
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
