We'll I broke down and got a system. I'm on the road a lot and I listen to a lot of music. I grew very tired of hearing nothing but highs as you can imagine. I saw the system in the back seat side panels and was intrigued. I went to my stereo shop and asked if it was feasible. They went with 2 8L7's and a Kennwood 1000W amp. Now your thinking 8in subs, but they are square subs and have nearly the same face size as the 10W0 and they have less depth which means more air space. So they get the panels off, line it with dynamat and ended up having to cut a a small piece of the metal off of the fender well, didn't really do anything. They then cut grills in the panels right over the subs. They were Kennwood as I have a Kennwood head unit, highs, and amp, so it matched. It looks clean and almost stock. They mounted the apm right over the shelf in the trunk on its own little shelf as the gas tank is right below the shelf and the audio shop didn't want an incident (What audio shop installer would know not to drill right there.). Everyone that has seen it says it pretty darn clean. It plays clean and with all Kicker speakers it hits HARD. Now all I have to do is buy a cap as my head lights are now dimming. As far as I know I'm the only person to use Kicker for this application and the weight is minimal because there's not really a box, just an enclosure. So start to criticism
