New to the forum!

Well first off... Hi Everybody.
I've been lurking around the forum for a couple days now just looking around, so i decided i might as well join to get full enjoyment out of the site and community. I've had my 08 for about a year now. Just haven't done much to it aside from Sound system.

Here are a few Pictures:

Yeah, its sounds really nice. Only problems I have are that the rear end sags a good bit and the rear view mirror shakes. I have dynamat in all the doors including the hatch. It doesn't have much external vibrations except lic. plate. Which I can't do much more for. just wish i could get the mirror to quit shaking...

shame on you for taking up all that wonderful, versatile cargo space with an (admittedly) sweet sub setup!

It actually settles down quite a bit if I tilt it up all the way, but then I obviously can't see through it. It do it anyway because I'm used to just using my side mirrors and looking back if needed because my other car doesn't have a rear view mirror.

What have you done to keep the plate from rattling?

3M double sided tape,lol. Its kind of a bitch because rain ruins the adhesive, so you have to check it every so often. They also make dynamat plate kits, but I haven't found a justification for it yet. Especially since a roll of 3m is like $5

Ah I never used a special kit either, just isolated the plate from body by various means (whatever was lying around) and didn't use a frame at all. It's been 10 years since I put a system together though so IDK if they even had kits like that

Yours looks clean, you have no tint or cargo cover?

Quite nice!

Did you bolt the amps directly to the rear seat backs or did you have to reinforce them beforehand? And what separates do you use up front?

Oh, and welcome to the forum

I noticed my rear end doesn't sag nearly as much with the Tokico HTS dampers. Might be a worthwhile investment and you keep a stock ride quality.

No tint yet, but that is the next thing on the list to do.As for the door speakers i'm using i'm using Rockford Fosgate P-165's and P-152-S's w/ a 4ch 400W Prime. I Didn't mount the amps to my seat. The Car Audio shop I go to did it for me when they set my amps up. They use the SMD DD-1, and the offered to mount them for me. I'm pretty sure its straight to the seat and it is holding, so no complaints from me.
