Did you need to add any supports? Rattling issues? I'm afraid the W7 will break my rear window.

Holy smokes LA-Wheels... do you have space back there left for a golf bag?
After the upgrade, will it do .5 past lightspeed and do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsec?

JL Audio 10W6v2 running free-air on a JL Audio 500/1 amplifier.
The entire car has been sound deadened (and I really do mean the entire car). The subwoofer is mounted on a 3/4" MDF board that's bolted up underneath the rear deck. There's virtually no rattles in the car, just on certain bass notes. Rest of the speakers are stock but since the doors have 2 layers of sound deadening, and are completely sealed, it sounds amazing.
I have the UL model, so the rear air conditioning unit takes up a lot of trunk space. Subwoofer barely clears the AC unit, but it does by like 1/4".
Best of all, I lost virtually no trunk space at all!

Bass is waaaayyyy better than the crappy ML sub, which I think is the weakest link in the factory ML stereo anyway.
There's so much bass, that I actually have the sub turned down a lot. I listen to a lot of house music. Here are some more pics:

Any pictures from inside the cabin? Would like to see if you have a cover over the sub or exposed. Thanks.

The JL Audio 10W6v2 is not a free air sub? From my understanding a non free air sub will not sound right?
