Can you give me more info on the sub setup and box? Also, which Baer system is that?

As for the sub set up, what you use is what you like but what I did for the install was cut out the bottom carpet..cleaned it out...used dynomat, I think that's what it's called...it's like this thick sticky stuff that lays down to keep the bass deep. Anyway, I cut a peice of MDF to fit flat level with the pump...I dynomated too seal the crack from inside the box..sealed the top with silicone...put a pillow in the box then mount the 12"...I then got a piece of carpetglued it down and stuffed the edges under the stock carpet...it is a pretty easy install...you just need to make sure the box is nicely sealed...when I tested it..the truck lid was making noise..so what I did was use that air foam stuff (for cocking windows at home) and filled the trunk lid...it's hollow. That's about it, then you can mount your amp where you like...as for the brakes, there the GT+ kit from www.stealthperf.com Mike rules...I woulsn't have done all this without him...thanks Big Daddy Mike [ 24.

Your car looks like mine, but I have gfx and Z06 rims. I was thinking of taking of my kit a while back, now when I saw your ride, I am very close to removing it.
