It's not very big...only 350w RMS / 700 peak (bridged mode), but it's an animal for its size. I chose fosgate's Power series because of the line and power pass throughs.

Looks very sweet!!!

[AKLGT]

that's a nice slim profile there! my kicker ported box takes up so much space! wish i could get it a little smaller or replace it eventually... maybe with a custom box that doesn't eat up 25% of my cargo area!

[cohocarl]

Looks like a nice, clean install!!! Really like the controls on the dash. Good job.

[Psychobroker]

Thanks for the compliments, but more importantly, thanks for all the help and feedback

Oh, lol The cap is there to allow me to expand my system in the future and not have to re-wire things.

A half-farad is good up through 500w I believe. I have a 1 farad Lightning Audio I got for $70 online somewhere... I still have dim, but I turn mine up loud.. My next step is actually to swap out the battery with an Optima..

very nice, i just purchased a rockford for my system as well, i picked up the 2002 model X6, claims 850rms, but is known to push upwards of 1000rms. Im building a cheezy box right now to hold me over untill im done with my fiberglass. Im running my 0/1 gauge wire today, and im waiting on my audiobahn 3 farad cap to come in.

[Psychobroker]

Yeah, that's why I chose this particular setup. It's the most compact I could get w/o going 100% custom.

[TheDude]

i hardly ever use my storage area, if i need room i use the back seats, i hardly have people in my car, usually take some one elses when my friends get together

I'm hoping you live in the middle of nowhere or use a cargo cover. Looks good!

[msmyer]

Nice! Good touch with the controls!

[drunkenmaxx]

the cargo cover sucks when you some thump, it makes noise, i rely on the tint as well.does that carpet keep the sub stationary enough? i had to tie my subs down w/nylon rope because of all the sliding around. it made big gouges in the back of the seat. id like to use a cleaner-looking method of immobilizing my box

[Psychobroker]

The sub came with mouting plates, so I just drilled through the trunk lid, the carpet and bolted it down. No sliding whatsoever

Good day!I'm awaiting shipment of my Polk-Momo MM12 it's the 12" version. Do you get any sound vibrations or other problems with just screwing into the back like that? I'm trying to figure out a way in which I can easily remove it, any suggestions from anyone? I wouldn't want to constantly be removing screws then screwing them in again.Can't wait! I'm getting my HU, amp, and sub in a couple of days, first stereo installation! There's nothing like spending a nice day with the Vibe.Thanks! ---Daniel

Hey there Daniel,There's ZERO rattle/vibration from my MM10, but that could be that I'm only using a 350w(RMS) amp to push it. If I upgrade to 500w, it may cause other panels to rattle, or the spare tire cover. If I do this, I'll dynamat the trunk area.As for mounting, I never remove the box, so I don't know what to tell you about ease of removal. I mounted it where it is to still allow me to fold the pass side back seat flat for extra-long cargo.
