I guess you don't need hatch space? I suppose the sub can be unclipped to be removed

I'm not a real audiophile, so I don't know, but isn't there any way to blend the box into the hatch abit more seamlessly? It looks really awkward just sitting there.

Other then that, great!

fd3annen, actually, if you look closely in the last pic, you can see the opening for the stock side bin in the rear panels that comes with most FD's with the bose system. Looks like he just covered it up with some stretchy material.

exactly right, the bins were poped out and the panelbehind the bin and the bin it slef was cut and modifid t mount a 5x7 speaker, the bins were then re inserted and wrappd in speaker cloth to retain a round shape

the flash is the only reason the bin is visible behind the speaker cloth. in person it looks perfect
