How did you get the speaker wires from the sub to the amp? I have my amp where your sub is and my sub is going in the tool well. How did you run the wires to hide them? Thanks!

 

It was pretty simple, I made a couple holes in the actual trunk liner, and ran them across to each side under it.

 

Nothing special. Custom made subwoofer box. Shallow Mount 10" MB Quart Sub. Does the job. Tools still in place.



Pioneer MVH-P8200BT.

 

i noticed a lot of people are running the Focal 165's up front, how are they? i want some component speakers with some bass handling because im not ready to throw a sub in my S, i used to be real into car audio a few years back but got the system in my truck where i wanted it and was done playing with the stuff. any suggestions as to whats out there now-a-days that might meet my criteria, not too particular, just want good lows and clarity

 

Hybrid Audio Technologies "Clarus." They are going to re-launch an all new Website any day now so the link may change.

Dynamat your doors and you'll get better bass up front with all component speakers. You can't go wrong with the 165's, definitely the best set of components I ever owned.

 

^Get the Focal K2P "Power" versions. There are two models, don't get the cheaper one as it does not give as much output.

Anyone who plans to spend $1000+ on speakers and won't splurge on Dynamat is a total idiot as you are just throwing away sound quality. A well done door laid with Dynamat will improve sound by 3dB which is essentially doubling the amp power.

looks pretty legit, where is ordering information and pricing, i found a select few one or two on ebay but not the clarus

 

do you have some pics? or steps? or is there somewhere i can go to look at install instructions, never fooled with the stuff

 

had no idea, thats good to know, so you mean there is a K2P and a K2P Power version? or what should i look for to differentiate between the two
