Just looking for possible pics and opinions... also, what would be a good thing to use to cover up the edge of the rear seat and carpet where I cut it out? I was thinking the black door edge trim from an auto parts store... ??
A lot of guys with BMW's do this because of how well sealed the trunk is from the interior. The absolute key to this kind of install is to make sure that the subs are in fact very well sealed to the cabin of the car. If you don't do this, then you will get a ton of cancellation, and this will sound like crap.
you will also want to play with the phase of the sub to get it to blend well with the rest of the system. There are a lot of sq guys out there with this kind of setup.
