Here is my $500 of stuff. The amp is too big to fit behind the seat as planned,so I will have to put it above where the Bose amp is now. The behind the seat location leaves no room for the wiring. This amp, speaker sub combo gives me bridged 125 RMS each side to front stage and 250 RMS for the sub. I have the option of not bridging and adding rear fill speakers at a later time if I choose.
The Rockford Fosgate 12" sub is mounted to an insulated panel and will be in place of the stock Bose sub. The spare tire and surrounding enclosure is packed with a shipping blanket and Stinger Stealth Roadkill sound deadener to create a ported sub enclosure while retaining the spare tire. Ironically I will probably leave the spare in the garage, as I did in my RX8, to compensate for the added weight.
I will post installed pics soon.
