Since the amp I used had speaker level inputs, I didn't need to add a line converter. I just tapped into the wires going to the stock subs in the spare tire. I put the amp on the shelf behind the driver's seat. If I want to, I can take the sub completely out in 2 mins and have full access to the trunk. It was ~$400 for amp, sub, wire kit and remote knob.

I had this sub enclosure installed 2 weeks ago on my MTX300w amp and it crapped out within a week. On the amps lowest possible settings the Pioneer failed and I am considering setting the enclosure on fire.
I have since purchased the JL audio dual 8's and it THUMPS!
