It'll sound badass! I have mine to where I can put in 2 15" Kicker L7's in a 6 cu ft box(have to take out the back seat of course), or I can put one kicker comp in a Scosche box from walmart behind the back seat. I use a Kicker ZX 1500.1 amp to power both setups. I'm Savin up for a dual 12 box and two 12s that can handle 1500 watts...

Thanks for posting that. I figured it would not fit under the seat. I will find a way to install it without sliding around, with and without the seat in. Where did you mount the amp?

The amp is underneath the sub in the floor storage bin... With the legs on the box, it really doesn't move much. I'd just put a piece of rubber on them if ur really worried about it

One thing just came to mind, how can I run the tweeters off the head unit too? Wire them together with the fronts, or is that a really bad idea lol??

Bad idea, unless you have a crossover or a bass blocker to cut the low frequency to the tweeters

I had my tweeters installed, but I'm pretty sure the ones I got had special frequency blockers built into the wiring to automatically block the low end frequencies.

EDIT: Yep, they have in line crossovers. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB1001/Polk-db1001.html

I'm actually really happy with the Polk tweeters. They have a great crisp sound on the highs. I would be a little wary of getting them without an after market HU though. They were pretty overpowering until I did some fine tuning on my 7 band EQ to balance out the bass and highs.

Getting an aftermarket harness would require no splicing right? worth it to get one?
