Ok thanks for the info, think I'll go with my sub install soon than. I'm gonna have it done professionally this time. If you remember my previous post boosted the first time I attempted this it didn't turn out too well. For all you who don't know one wrong wire and my 45K car was useless.

Just had an Orion 10in. sub (in an enclosure) and a 60W/ch (RMS) amp installed. This sounds a LOT better. Iwas able to put the eq settings where they need to be. Smoke on the Water hasn't sounded this good, in my car, in a long time. I figure out later how to live with the big box LOL. For now, just enjoyin the sound.

Come on guys!!!! Pics !!!!!!!!

How are you connecting aftermarket subs to factory systems? Just tapping into high level out and using an adapter to go back to low level for the custom sub amp?

Pics and details !!!!!!

Took my D to an audio store and they hooked up my sub using the processes that puts off the signal and worked it that way. The amp is hidden in the cargo storage area and the box fits behind te third seat but I do have future plans to fiberglass a enclosed soon

Car Stereo 1 in Toledo did all the work, but they installed an Orion Cobalt 3002, a PAC SOEMT 2Ch converter and an Orion 10in Sub already in an enclosure. Nice clean install, but I didn't trace all the wires down. They put a nice grill over the speaker to protect it.

Anyone know if you'd be able to pair an Alpine remote with the system?

Man, that would be awesome. My biggest gripe with the car is the stereo when I'm a passenger and having to do everything through the touchscreen.

It doesn't look like there is any IR receiver on the face though.

Nice, I am getting ready to do a similar setup.. JJ what type of rear cargo area rug is that? I like that it goes up the sides...

@Ryan, it's boat blanket fabric from sailrite. It comes 72" wide and whatever length you want. Inexpensive and durable.
