really? the box i had in my ford explorer was more than twice as big as this box. This box is only 3cf. It doesn't block any of my rear window when i look in the rear view mirror.There's still plenty of room in my trunk for groceries and other things. I don't have kids or anything yet so i don't need much space back there. I like clean accurate bass. Those little boxes a lot of you guys use that go on the side wouldn't cut it for me.

i don't play it at full tilt. I adjust the gains so that it doesn't overpower my mids and highs. I wish one of you could hear it, i guarantee you would love how it sounds lol. I personally don't like 12's or 10's. The music i listen to, 15's sound much better with the low bass extension. 15's need more airspace, my box isn't even considred big for running a 15. Just went for a drive and i was in heaven. Didn't even think to myself the box was big, surprised at the reactions i'm getting on here lol.
Its just because most people here have small woofers/boxes. I don't think anyone is implying that your box is too big for that driver, just that its big in general.
Just out of curiosity, what kind of music do you listen to?

No, the box isn't big for a 15. Nothing wrong with running a 15, I was just surprised someone would do it with the rest of the system factory. You're getting great lows I'm sure, but then getting muddy mids and highs on the Bose. It just seemed weird. I've always run 12's just because for me it was the best compromise of space vs. low range. I've heard plenty of 15's and like the way they sound. I could just never figure out a way to incorporate it into any of my cars. I'm currently putting two 12's into the spare tire well.

I listen to reggae and hip hop mostly, but i do like all sorts of music. Just find especially for reggae the 15's sound great. I noticed most guys on here have small boxes but i don't beleive i would get the lows in the boxes most are running. I also had this stuff lying around and prefered to install them rather then sell or trade for a smaller subwoofer. The amp puts out 1500+ watts but i won't be running it anywhere near that. I ran 0 guage to the back as well. Love this vehicle, was very very easy to run the 0 guage wire, my old vehicle i had to drill a hole in the firewall

Actually, i also had a Audison amp(200x2) and a set of Hertz MLK 6.5 components but sold them because i always like to try new components when i change cars. So i am getting ideas on how i want to have my next components installed. Not sure which ones i want to buy yet either. Didn't want to wait any longer for my components as the factory bass is the weakest part and i wanted to upgraade that first. I've ran kicker, hertz and focal components in the past. Not sure how most of your speakers sound but mine actually sound pretty good for stock and like i said i'm used to running components and i still like how these sound lol. I do see a need for components but the stocks will do for now, just had to get rid of that bose subwoofer, discusting lol

Does your trunk rattle? Did you dynamat the trunk and hatch?

haven't dynamated the trunk or hatch as of yet. Hatch does rattle. Wanted to see just how many rattles i would get once i nstalled the subwoofer. definately my next move will be to add dynamat or brown bread, whichever i get cheaper lol
Well the multiple choice part is done, now on to the essay portion... They fit better than I expected. I thought I was going to have to enlarge the hole for the DRL bulb to sit the projector further back, but it doesn't look like it will be necessary. The projector lens has plenty of clearance for the headlight lens. It does sit closer relative to the factory projector, but not by much. Once the shrouds go on, the spacing will look equal. The OEM projector sits really far back from the shroud. So I can adjust the shroud for the new projector to sit closer and it will match (ie, it won't look like one light is right on the lens and the other is recessed). Tonight I'm going to finish notching the headlight bezel/trim to fit around the new projector. Afterwards will be the hard part of molding new shrouds onto the bezel. That may take a while.
100% agree. took me 7 months to do 2 LOL.Took forever to plastic puddy and jb weld it, then sand it down by hand.
