Very interesting. I've seen this done and considered it myself, however, to me its a real loss of midrange clarity at the expense of "OK" bass. The real issue to me with this, is that you're only left with 4" drivers in the dash for midrange, and you're now asking what is basically a free air sub to play mid-bass roles as well. Can't have your cake and eat it too.

I still contend that for a similar amount of work, I'd go ( and did) with a dedicated sub (as many know, I have a gorgeous JL 8W0 install, and that the box in my car is also available from the audio shop for your car). This way you have a true subwoofer to fill in the low end, while I still have excellent 6 1/2's in my doors for mid-bass. In my case, the loss of passneger footwell volume is minimal, while the addition of true bass is amazing.

Nice use of an Audison LRX amp, however. I have two of those driving my system and they are probably the best value in high end mobile amplification.

Just my $.02 on the topic.
