I was wondering if anyone with the RF system could assist me with installing one into my 2.0? The dealer wasn't able to locate a 2.0 with the Rockford Fosgate system so I settled for the mid-grade unit. I know the RF isn't the best but it's got to be a lot better than the one I got. Plus I'm wanting to add the stock, built-in XM satellite tuner. I know I can get I can get an XM tuner for next to nothing or a new HU with it built in but I really want to keep it all looking stock without all the wires.

I just scored the subs and amp off ebay and only need the satellite tuner now. I verified that I have the bus in the trunk for connecting the tuner. I was wondering how the Subs are installed and where the amp goes. I'm hoping all the wiring is in place and just the components are missing. If anyone has any pictures of how the subs are installed under the rear deck, I would appreciate it. And if anyone knows the location of the amp and would care to share, that would be good info too. It's my understanding the the subs face downward and my guess is that the amp goes under the passenger seat. Thanks.

Oh well, i have the RF system. The subs are facing up in the rear dash, and the amp is under the passanger seat. Below are 2 diagrams that i hope help you out on your way to better audio haven. BTW, the RF package is pretty damn good.

Thanks, I appreciate the response. I just received the subs and amp yesterday. I was a little disappointed with the mass of the magnet on the subs. I didn't look until last night but I was able to find the stand-offs for mounting the amp under the seat... unfortunately, there's no wires and it looks like I'm gonna need the wiring harness that runs from the HU to the amp, to the subs. Does anyone know if the RF amp powers the other speakers or just the subs? I'm hoping I don't have to lace the harness to the dash and door speakers in addition to the subs. The seller also included the dash speakers but I doubt they're different from the mid-grade speakers I got.

I'm still in search of an XM tuner, RF Head unit and a wiring harness if anyone has them to unload.

The amp powers all of the speakers. Thought the magnets on the subs are small, its still enough to rattle your doors and mirror.
