Plausible L7 Alternative to Subwoofer Qwest

I posted a response to the long thread regarding adding a subwoofer to the standard Hifi US system. It is not only possible, but I will soon post pictures of an $800 subwoofer add on which will blast the doors off the the Logic seven system without disturbing any of the interior components of the vehicle.
The spare tire wheel well is nice and super deep because it was specifically designed for a full size spare and therefore is a perfect size for two ten inch subwoofers, and an amp in a nice size lightweight fiberglass enclosure. There is a large bolt that needs to be removed from the bottom of the car and a white box which needs to be carefully re-routed. Otherwise a very easy install which is a cost sensitive alternative to the L7 system. You can tap into the wires coming out of the amp going to the subs which is in the trunk using specific connectors and line out convertors to the amp. The battery feeding power to the amp is in the trunk also.
If there is any interest I may be able to have my installer make copies of enclosures for a reduced price to fit in the wheel well if there is sufficient interest since he already has a pattern from my wheel well.
I would be happy to answer any question but no pictures yet. We are suffering terrential rains here in charlotte, nc, which is affecting the drying time of the fiberglass enclosure being constructed.

It would be foolish to think that just adding a sub would "blow the doors off the L7" system. I suspect bass response would be better but L7 is much more than that...

I agree with Iceman. Logic 7 is Much, Much more than bass. However if you are stuck with the standard audio system, more bass will make it much more palatable.
