I'm glad that you are happy with the ones you got.

I'm going to install them into my car yet I'm still debating it.
Here are a couple of pictures of them.

Originally they were in my car all 4 of them free air, just excellent subs.

what the origional poster should have looked for was drivers with relatively high QTS and low FS...... you basically want subs that will play low while remaining critically damped in a large box.....

Talking Hey Tom F.I.

That system looks interesting.
I remember when I too had 5 amps in my old car.
Then i went to 3 amps.
Now i'm looking at doing only 2 amp systems.
How do you have your amps allocated?
Are they doing one channel each?

All six amps are pioneer 5100T.
1. Bridged Left Sub CVR-15.2
2. Bridged Right Sub CVR-15.2
3. Bridged Left, rear deck, 4-way 6x9 TS-A6981R
4. Bridged Right, rear deck, 4-way 6x9 TS-A6981R
5. 2 channel, high & low Left door component RCE-216
6. 2 channel, high & low Right door component RCE-216

Rear crossover (sub/6x9) is Kicker, front (component) is phoenix gold. Door and deck speakers are behind the original factory grills and use the original Bose mounts, which i modified to make stiffer and sealed, but the angles were good. I'm making extenders for the rear seat latch to keep it open a few inches. The rear deck is sealed, but i still get a little bit of back wave when i crank it, through the car body. I'm going to add a bunch of B-quiet and see if that works, can't hurt

So far, i'm still using the factory radio, but i have an Alpine & changers to go in someday, when i get the onstar, chime, RAP & steering interfaces. Even the turn signal click comes through the radio. Nobody's made an interface for the 06 yet.
