Subwoofer Install

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post...
Attached are pictures of the system I had installed last summer.
First is the carpeted subwoofer enclosure from Advanced Audio Designs, loaded with a JL 8W0. As you can see in the next pix, the mat will cover it - but has to be folded over the top of the enclosure. Not much room for a long-legged passenger now, but the enclosure is just deep enough to hold the Sub. There is more angle to it than the picture shows. JL amps are mounted in the front trunk (where else), Dash & door speakers are JL VR600 CSi's, & the head unit is an Alpine 9887. Soundwise, it's got plenty of punch & clarity with the top up, but the bass gets lost when the top is down... (the perfect bass trap). I can get it back by cranking the bass, but don't want to overdrive the Sub. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. Just an opinion, but I think the Bose sub works better with the top down because it's firing toward the back of the windshield... Last is a picture of my 97', now garaged for the winter. Spring will be here before we know it!
