kickers aren't bad if you go for the Solo Baric L series,personally im a big fan of JLAudio..it looks good though

wuts nice about it is the car keeps so much of the sound contained...you really cant hear much out of the sub from outside the car (except for the trunk rattling). but once you get it..it sounds really good

clean install . . . nice job.

A recommendation, though - for the best sound, turn the sub around!

Subwoofers sound their best when facing towards the front of the vehicle, preferably right behind the back seats. The back seat will help with the tone, and the woofer won't rattle the trunk at all, either (well, I can't say at all - it'll help reduce it). Plus, the contour of the rear of the car will act as an amplifier for the tone, also.

If nothing else, at least give it a shot and see how it sounds to you - make sure you close the trunk when testing out how it sounds, too.

Otherwise, nice job on the install.
