I finally got my new stuff installed. I have a subthump box with a 10" Kicker L7. I have a MTX 8100D amp that I have forever but puts out a crazy ammoung of RMS watts(1200). Head unit is and old Alpine deck which is serving me good.
Few pics of the sub/amp setup. Pretty basic, but it sounds nice!

I noticed that you have your sub running off one channel. Any reason for that? Most guys running one sub off one amp run one positive and one negative from off each channel bridging it mono. Or is that amp too strong for that sub, I wouldn't think it would be. By the way beautiful set up!! Love how you installed the amp wiring so neatly through the carpet!! In fact, that's why I noticed the wiring to the amp..lol! As far as the subthump fit, they fit pretty nice...the JL Audio or Vantage stealth fit way better. Of course you wouldn't be able to run a solobaric in one either...ah tradeoffs. I have a subthump passenger side stealth and it fits ok but I had to muscle it around to get it exactly where I wanted it to look right. I love a the nice, clean install! Great work!!

The subthump box fits kinds crappy, but for 100 bucks made for a l7, it aint bad. I get good prices on Kicker stuff, so i was kinds limited on what sub to buy.
Now I have to get my windows tinted so my amp doesnt get stolen

lol999, i dont know if you already do this, but i would recommend putting the "flap" piece or whatever its called back in when your driving around. especially if you dont have tint. i just installed a kicker 700.5 amp in the same location and a solo baric l5. i always leave the flap covering the amp, unless im cruising around on a sunday and know im not gonna be leaving the car alone. just my .02

Same way mine is mounted. Better than sitting in the back with nothing holding it in like it was installed in my old TA.

I've got mine about an inch farther and still have to put a piece of rubber between the t-top and the plastic where the t-top connects to to push it out a bit.
