I used some sound dampening material from elemental design. It's $2 per square foot. It helped a lot but the one thing that still rattles is the plastic guard over the speaker...I'm thinking I'll have to hot clue it on or something, lol.

I also bought a pair of these Bazooka subs with spacers from Kee. They are very nice for the price (at $50 each), and relatively easy to install. They dont fit perfect, but they do fit well enough to mount in the stock location. I just cut the wires off the stock subs and soldered them onto the bazooka subs. So this way the new bazooka subs plug in just like factory. The only downside is that they rattle the plastic grille covers pretty bad. Im thinking about just taking the covers out, or finding a better way to secure them.
So overall these bazooka subs sound good and make a LOT more bass than the stock ones. I'll see how they hold up to the test of time and I'll report back.

I got mine installed today. The speakers sound great (I'd give them an 8.8 out of 10). They have a nice clean punch compared to the originals. I installed sound matting which also gets rid of some of the normal road noise as well.
When installing the speakers make sure to bore & slot out the holes on the plastic spacer as they don't match the speaker mounting holes too well.

Do they make more bass at all volume levels or only when you turn them up to the high levels? Is there less bass at the lower volume levels compared to the stock ones?
