Looks good I like the amp placement idea, Does the amp overheat at all? the older sound stream stuff is sweet.Aron
Vibe is gone and will be missed as I've gone country style

Holy "Boom" batman, I would be scared to turn it on, lol, it might blow the back hatch off. Looks like you did alot of work, good job, looks nice.

I have mine setup very much like that. I see you still have the factory head unit in there. I have M&T, and I took high level output off the underseat amp for the rear speakers and used a line level converter to reduce levels for the amp. The sound in mine was never quit right, I couldn't get it adjusted so it would just exploded on some songs where the wife would just turn it way down, and the very little reponse on other songs. I surmised that the factory amp was amplifiying the bass, then I was reducing it and amplifying it again to where some notes (standing wave?) would just overkill the car. I just got the idea yesterday to rewire where I'm taking line level INPUT from the M&T amp and ran that to the sub amp in back, instead of taking the OUTPUT and reducing it. Sound is much cleaner, not so muddy and well balanced. I see your pair of 12", and I'm sure you've got 800 watts or more on that, it must just stomp that little car. Mine (Sony 10" ported w/ 800 watts) is huge in there, but has to be well balanced because it was so overpowering. Nice installation, very profesional.
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code
