i had to cut out the foam for the middle back seat so i could put the enclorure in but it makes it look like 2 captain chairs in the rear now!!

it sounds great clear mids and highs and the bass is nice..i am going to be pulling out the center council up front and builing a new fiber glass on that runns from front to back and adding 2 more 8 inch jl's i cant wait...just need alot of time off to do it!

Just curious, are you happy with wood grain, or were you thinking of painting it? Just askin, cuz if you were and werent sure what to do, if you liked how mine turned out Id tell ya exactly what I did.
I'm not a fan of the woodgrain but I've held off on painting it because I trimmed a bit too much when I cut out for the MyGig and I either need to figure out a way to fix that or buy another one before painting.

looks great, but you should never mount a amp upside down. Google it.

Ok, I googled it...what's your point?

Aside from having called Kicker directly and talking with them about it before hand, if you're referring to the fact that heat rises etc etc...thats why I installed a cooling fan if you didn't notice the little triangle mesh in the corner. My amps never overheat, and even after long road trips they are cool to the touch...but in the case that you were referring to something else that the manufacturer and I both missed...why shouldn't I mount amps upside down?
