^Nice.

I know between nothing and fuck-all about setting up a sound system, and there is so many differing opinions online, that I decided to just take the car in to get it setup. Last thing I wanted to do is set it up and blow a $500 woofer from clipping. Props to you for installing yourself.

The problem is this crappy OEM Bose system in my car, if everything was just normal, it would be easier, but the bose has two amplifiers and all this crap which makes something as simple as wiring in a sub so complicated.

I definitely need to go your route, and just yank the entire system and replace all the components with aftermarket as well. That will come next winter pretty sure.

As for the sub right now, even relatively untuned and untested, yes, she hits hard. My last experience was just a pre-built JL stealthbox in my pickup truck, and that thing pounded good for a 12, but this is just a puny little 10, and it rocks almost as hard already. Audio company's are getting really good at doing more with less. The box for my sub is only like .8 cu ft. 10 years ago that small of a box hitting this hard was unheard of.
