My system is coming in tomorrow:

Polk Audio MM 2104 10" 4-ohm subwoofer (300wrms)

Profile AP600 100wrms x2 Amp (300wrms bridged stable at 4-ohms)

Hatch box

8 Gauge wiring kit

6 ft speaker wire

I have a couple questions prior to install:

Where did you install your fuse next to the battery?

I see the hole above the drivers feet where I can fish in the wire, but how can I make some more room for my hands inside the engine bay?

How does the drivers side door sill come off?

How do I run the wire to the trunk through the plastic back panels behind the drivers seat?

If I can get those questions answered, I'll be fine. This is my third sub amp install, first in the S2000.

Thanks in advance!

 

On your 07, take the cover off the throttle sensor, helped me out a bit. It's the cover in front of and to the drivers side of the brake master cylinder.

Door panel = two screws in the handle (look for the covers, one on each side), one in the door knob/lock area, one at the "front" / leading edge of the door (must be open to see), also under a cover as I recall. From what I can remember without going to look at my car, that's all the screws BUT LOOK AROUND. they all either have really obvious covers on them or are plainly visible. Then pull as you would any door panel, start at the bottom, there's a gap there you can get your hands into.

Wiring, take off the door sill on drivers side, drivers side kick panel, rear panels are held in by two screws on each side (under covers again, in the hooks on the drivers side), from there you should be able to figure out where to run the wire so it's not visible. Also take the "front" trunk panels out (spare tire and the one to it's left) so you can grab wires, mount the ground (strut tower bar bolt), etc.

This is from memory so take a look around for hidden screws and such, but most of it is fairly visible/obvious.

Oh yeah, when you remove the door sill, find the loose clips that will liekly stay behind, install them in the sill before reinstallation of the sill itself.

 

Thanks a lot!

Haha by door sill I meant the park that your feet step on, to pop up the carpet, but I figured it out.

I think I got everything ready!

By the way, can you circle what your talking about here?

 

Circled in photo below.

 

all done! will post pics later this evening!

 

300wrms = perfect power for me

I only have it tuned up I would say 50% for this next week for break in, the polk is producing great SQ and is really good at round out my system. I can feel it a little bit in my chest.

I already turned it up to max for about 30seconds for a rap song, and this thing pounds pleanty in the chest for me!

Best thing is, no rattling trunk!

The amp is actually under the sub where the spare tools usually go, there was pleanty of room down there.

Thanks for your help!

 

Nice GPW!
I love that color.
Wow, are you sure there's no rattle in the trunk?
I'm getting a LOT of rattles from the convertible tray(i think)

Did you use any sound deadening material? I'm about to put my sub in this weekend and I was just wondering if you have any words of encouragement before I do.

 

No I did not.
