I ordered one of those boxed loaded with a JL Audio 10w1 on Monday from Wicked CAS. Keeping my fingers crossed it gets here by the weekend.

I will be running it off of my JL Audio 300/4 amp. I'll let you know how it sounds.

BTW they were very easy to deal with on the phone.

Once again just my opinion though.
why do i need to upgrade my interior if i want change the speakers?
and what kind of speakers do you recommend?

I meant interior speakers, sorry, it was late. I recommend focals, they are pricey but at least for the front, amazing speakers. If you are more on a budget you would have to ask around what is good now in lower priced. I think JL makes some decent entry level 6.5"s.

yeah thats what I thought you were talking about. the ones on each door, etc. Yeah I also figured just the front two (I think when you refer to the front you are referring to the ones on the doors) would be good enough. yeah my budget is three gs. I'm trying to find the best way to put 3gs on a base model. so far im figuring avic d3 ($750-800), nazars sub install ($800-825), evo-r complete carbon fiber dash kit ($600-625), and evo-r titanium shift **** ($160). is what I'm thinking so far. so with like the $590 (min) or with $690 left (max) go with speakers (JL 6.5" haha). I'm more interested in the above things rather than engine mods/for speed.

I put in a Kicker Comp VR this weekend in the bose sub area. I used the same set up as chefrey. The only thing I did diffrently was I stuffed the inside with poly fill. It sounds great. I have 200w to each coil. I wasn't sure if would work, but I'm pleased with the out come.
