I have the single kicker unit along with the dual 10 inch. And I like The single 10 inch box better. Awesome sound plus some storage space, I had to run a seperate AMP for the box though and it sounds awesome.

Was this a factory kit? I had something like that in my Mazda 6. It had a sub box that fit on top of the spare tire in the rear hatch. Pretty nice use of space.

Any aftermarket support of this kit? I have a 10" sub, but haven't really seen a decent single box that doesn't cost like $300. I'd consider starting over if the kicker kit was available.

It is an aftermarket set-up sold by Mopar. I wonder how the upgrade 6x9's sound for the front doors? I have Pioneer 6x9's now and they sound better, but I would like a little more bass.

i found just the sub kit (box and woofer) for like $199 problem is the space is so tight that its got to have a shallow magnet therefore typically low power rating.
I Priced having a box built but its cheaper to ebay one
I already have a 800Wt mono amp for the sub and a line out converter for the factory headunit i just need a 10'
anyone want to buy 2 jl audio 12's? haha

mtx Thunderform is plastic =(
I want a wood box but...the biggest i can find is like .69 QFT I need like a 1.5ish for my JL's
ehhhh Thunderform is well..., I actually saw the box flexing when the bass hit. Gave off a very hollow resonating bass rather then a tight punch sound.
