Ok guys, finally done with installation...here's a few pictures...
Empty trunk...?

nope...




My audio system sounds a lot better after completely "edeadening" the doors and the trunk, and adding the subwoofer, but I have to say, I had higher expectations for the subwoofer. Maybe too high considering it's only an 8" and in a free-air environment at that. But I can barely hear it with these settings on the amplifier (look at the arrows)...

and the subwoofer level on the head unit almost all the way up. Any suggestions? My only thought is to do what Carpepoon did and build a box around the sub and then mount that to the rear deck.
I also remember somebody else saying their sub eventually "loosened up." Maybe I have to wait for that? BTW...this is my first install, so don't take it to hard on me.

I also considered cutting the ring open a little bit more in front of the subwoofer, but I don't think that it'd make a difference.

UH, they are adjustable . If you read the post, it says look at the arrows. I took that picture before I installed the amplifier. Thanks though, that was a big help.

Nevermind...seemed to be a case of just the sub needing to get loosened up. The more I play with it the better it sounds. TeamSVTour...sorry we had a misunderstanding.
