Default Aftermarket Sound Systems

Hi guys, I really want to add a sub to my factory system, my only problem is I can't find any custom boxes for a woofer for my 14' 250. Im curious to see what other people have done or what there using for there setups. Any pictures would be awesome

What does a processor do? (Audio noob) My main concern was just having a clean setup in the trunk without breaking the bank on the box alone

Would be good if people who have done it share pics of their setup here. Am thinking of installing some aftermarket amps and a woofer.

Check out my post from a few months back. I built my own fiberglass box for less than a store bought box. There are lots of posts on the web about constructing a fiberglass box. I am very happy with the results.

Woot!! what a good-looking setup, care to share what amps and speakers you used? Also, where did the amps go? It's clearly not inside the boot. Coming from a SUV where i had lots of space to mount the amps and woofer under the trunk floor, there is none in the 3IS.. would love to hear practical solutions as the amps are those full-sized amps. Thanks!

I would recommend having the sound system integrated into the car. Much cleaner look but that's just my opinion
