I had to cut my cab wall cover for the box to fit.I got the cut perfect but have a little bit of black marker to dye over(can't see it anyway when seats are back.Wiring is going to be fun.Luckily I have the vinyl floor and it has plenty slack.

How's everything sound ? Do you need help with your wiring or head or amp settings ?

but I have no trim...I have just the carpet and metal siding. I would have to run the wire under the carpet but that includes ripping it all out..

I haven't installed it yet.Just put em in there for a pic and to see if it fits like I thought it would.I'm sure I'll have questions.Thanks
Actually I seen it's raining here so I might have a chance to work on it today.Then when i grabbed the amp wiring kits, I realized I forgot the speaker wire.
What guage do I need for the (2x60RMS)amp to the Polk db's? What guage for the sub and mono amp?

I got a 50 ft roll of 14 ga at wal mart. might be overkill for the speakers but better too much than not enough.

18-16 gauge is fine for the Polk's. 14-12 gauge is fine for the sub/box.

This may sound dumb, but when I bought the amp (lightly used, from a friend) I could not find on google how to bridge an old "MTX Blue Thunder Pro 1502". So its actually not bridged.
Its a 300W RMS amp (150x2) pushing only 150W into an MTX TT5610-04 (300W RMS) sub. It doesn't look like much, and looks like a meth-head installed it (I do not do drugs nor will I ever), but it does a surprisingly good job at providing me with ABOVE ABOVE factory but way below competition sound.

Exactly. Your system isn't shit if it's sound distorted beyond recognition

I stopped at AutoSound and got 50 ft of 18ga and 4 ft of 14ga and it cost $17.xx.Went there because it's close and I was in a hurry.
