It actually sounds good, they have came out to the Alphasquad meets, also they will be at the Alphasquad show. I just don't see my self paying that much for a system, that's just me thou. I know there have been a couple of members in these forum who have have made their own under seat subs, and I think they also give a comment on how to many do one for the passenger side.

Yeah, it is quite a bit for a "factory style" system. You could surely get better sound for less using aftermarket, but hard to compete with the ease of install and fitment of this system.

I'm struggling in this area atm, my mids and highs are done 1 of 2 amps installed I just don't know what I want to do for the bass yet. There is the jdm upper c panel but I think that's a 6" and a small mid speaker. Bazooka offers a six for the lower passenger c panel mtx offers an 10" for the lower passenger c panel but I like symmetry. I don't want the sub tub I plan on mounting my air tank there in a spare style air tank and I want to keep my luggage area open. Bass under my ___ doesn't sound appealing. I was thinking maybe 3 8" under the rear seats but I don't think I'll get the lows I'm looking for out of it. I wish mtx made the boxes for driver and passenger side lower c panels, I think that would be perfect. 2 10" would work.

A couple of members on here have bought the 10inch one already. They like it from what I remember.

U are the man, not quite symmetrical but neither is the luggage compartment they would go into. Drivers side appears a bit more bulky but after I strip the carpet, finish the boxes I think they'll do just fine. I looked all over and never saw that site. I think I'll go for the 12"...

I've got Fosgate 8's under my front seats (one each). Took a while to design the enclosures, but they were easy to build. I say easy since I do woodwork as a hobby, mind you. If you have access to a table saw, it's not that hard. Used 1/2" baltic birch plywood, glued and stapled together. They are not heavy thumpers, but give me the extra kick that I like. Look up "Working Toaster" for pics.
