Sub Box/JL 13.5 Inch TW5
They do pump out really well for the type of sub they are. I took mine into the local audio dealer and they sat in it to try it out and they were well impressed. I am only running one with a JL slash v2 500/1. I had the same issues as HEC when i made my box as it's so tight under them seats. but they really are great subs when you have limited space.
here's mine


here's mine


I paid about $590 for the Sub with tax and about $599 for the amp with tax and then about $200 on numerous install parts plus a new Optima red top. So in all about $1500 plus the time involed with planning, designing and building the box which was about 40 hours in all.
I am also running the Factory 09 sync/nav system. Did think about changeing it but cant find anything on the market what can touch it for functions. It also sounds very good.

Subs were about $1100 shipped
JL 1000/1 Amp I paid $350 on Craigslist
box made and installed was $450 i gave him $50 tip so $500, Thats making the box, 2 days work, inserting speakers, moving the Amp behind the rear seat mounted on wall, Adjusting the levels and testing.
I too have my Stock head unit with Navigation, Installer told me to look at a different unit, but i need to find something nice with Navigation in it Double Din. When i get some cash slack...
My Brother has a Double Din JVC in dash with Navigation, prox sensor on screen so if you wave your hand by it, it lights up he paid $700 for. Maybe thats how i will go when i get some more cash. It goes for $1000 in the local stores though. So i have to shop around.

Barritia,
That's a great looking sub setup. Nice work.
I only want to take up half of the back since I put stuff under the seat all of the time, so I think that I'll go with half of that. I'd like the amp on the back wall, but it just doesn't look like there's enough air space for mounting and cooling.
also, do you have an amp powering the other speakers? Also, did you use a crossover for the other speakers to keep the bass out of them?
Thanks
