ive got a custom box, that was made for the car. the back of the box is slanted so it fits in the back, cuz the back of the trunk is slanted, if you want a custom trunk box, you can goto west coast customs, they do good ****

pogo, is your new sub wired to replace the stock sub, or to run in addition to it? with the separate amp, does it alter any of the logic 7 characteristics?

do not use your stock amp I was going to and Im so happy I did not. the stock one dose not have the watts to power a after market sub. but if you have your heart set on the stock sub and just want to replace your sub. then pioneer makes one and kicker both makes 10 Infinite Baffle subs.
