A simple yes or no would be sufficient but if you have experience than by all means explain.

Also anyone with a sub in there trunk is it worth all the work is it a big increase in bass? From my understanding the trunk is so isolated that the bass does not even get through.

However, if you are looking for a substitute of a trunk sub then it will not going to happen with the OEM woofers and an aftermarket amp, you will need a pair of SWS-8 and a 300W peak per channel amp.
