How did you get the speaker wires from the sub to the amp? I have my amp where your sub is and my sub is going in the tool well. How did you run the wires to hide them? Thanks!

It was pretty simple, I made a couple holes in the actual trunk liner, and ran them across to each side under it.

Nothing special. Custom made subwoofer box. Shallow Mount 10" MB Quart Sub. Does the job. Tools still in place.

i noticed a lot of people are running the Focal 165's up front, how are they? i want some component speakers with some bass handling because im not ready to throw a sub in my S, i used to be real into car audio a few years back but got the system in my truck where i wanted it and was done playing with the stuff. any suggestions as to whats out there now-a-days that might meet my criteria, not too particular, just want good lows and clarity

Dynamat your doors and you'll get better bass up front with all component speakers. You can't go wrong with the 165's, definitely the best set of components I ever owned.

^Get the Focal K2P "Power" versions. There are two models, don't get the cheaper one as it does not give as much output.

Anyone who plans to spend $1000+ on speakers and won't splurge on Dynamat is a total idiot as you are just throwing away sound quality. A well done door laid with Dynamat will improve sound by 3dB which is essentially doubling the amp power.
