Ok i got the car done today. Overall its ok. I kind of want more but it doesnt rattle one bit. I went in and picked up the car and the guy gave me money back on the isntal. He didnt use all the wires and gave me 12 dollars back. Not much but then after i left i realized they forgot/didnt charge me for the box. So after the refund and missed charge everything cost me under $200. Amp is on the back of the box and the box is bolted down from the inside. Here are the sub pic's.
^ nice clean, not to flashy, and not taking up the entire trunk.
Spoiler pics, not installed yet. Tomorrow when its hot im going to do it.
I got this spoiler from menace e60. He didnt sand the bottom when he installed it. Should i sand it and just use super strength 3m double sided tape? I dont know which silicone to get so i dont think im going to even use any. I did read the diy but just wanted some personal feedback from anyone who has done this and hasnt use silicone. I checked the fitment and its pretty good. You have to apply some pressure at the ends but thats expected.

Interesting install. The audio components in the trunk are all on the drivers side but the wire comes down from the passenger side. And all the power is on the passenger side but wires are coming from the drivers side. I would have just flipped the amp.
