are your subs directly on the floor? it does not appear to be any recess for them so that right there is going to hinder the sound right there.

They are downfiring...about an 1 1/2 gap between the floor and sub...the shallow mounts have less movment than regular subs. I have checked and they do not hit, even at max volume

ok, they just looks pretty darn close in the pics that's all, i made a box for my 10'' cvt and though an inch was more then enough room, but i was wrong, lol the carpet tapers up near the back and it was touching, i had lots of room at the front though

You could try an upfiring box, sometimes easier to work with...

I have no seat lift.

Yes they are bright...the cheap kits you see online with a very very yellow color are not what you want. They are a 4300K bulb covered in a film to omit the whitist light coming out, therefore leaving the yellow. These do not have them. They are basically a stock color but A LOT brighter. If it wernt for the white color I love in the headlights, I'd get 3000K for the headlights also. Highly recommended

Do you know if, it's able to get it in tan. Or how hard/much would it cost to get it recovered in tan?
