Pic 4 - I mounted a switch in the console knock-out for cutting off the amp/sub for when boom-boom is inappropriate.

Nice install, which amp did you use?I like the truck-box for the sub, that saves a lot of space!

Amp is a Kenwood KAC-622. Probably way small compared to what most people here use. It's rated 80 RMS - 130 max, bridged (as I have it). It does what I want though. Besides it was left over from an install I did in one of my pickups 9 years ago, so it was just sittin around collecting dust.Sub is a Kenwood KFC-W3005.I'm shickled titless with the sound.

Yes I have the M&T, never hooked up the amp/sub with the stock HU though. I've got a Kenwood HU hooked up to the M&T amp with a Scosche speaker level converter.

This is the sub box I bought, and highly recommend: A local shop sold it for $59.99. Maybe a little pricey, but you get what you pay forInfo available:

I have always put a toggle switch in with my amps too. I use to live in Franklin, TN and the Brentwood cops and Nashville cops hated loud music. Looks good. Nice job

Thanks PhiDelt, I drive thru Franklin and Brentwood daily to get to work in Nashville and I have seen the cops be hard on loud music players. Thankfully I haven't experienced it first hand though.
