ok. thanks... thats what I thought. now if I went with the behind the seat mounting. based on these specs the RFs shouldwork. if my understanding is right. (I'm still not too sure about most of this, but I like to learn as I go)
Edit, I guess they may not after looking at them, the smallest is over 4" deep. I'm not sure about how much room is really back there
Cutting into the firewall the way I did gave me about 5" in depth if I remember correctly. I could have increased it if I made the box extend into the cab more, But I really wanted to limit the impact on seat travel as much as I could while still getting the sound I wanted. Granted that method isn't for everyone, and I wouldn't recomend it for someone with little to no experience constructing and installing enclosures. I'm not saying they couldn't do it, but it would be a challenge.

so you don't think I'm smart enough.... I'd have to agree. lol
taking a look at the options I'm guessing pappys, flat Boss amp/sub is probably looking like my best options since I'm not sure how much work I am going to be able to put into this. unless you guys have another option.

You don't need to have a show winning system for it to sound good and be a pleasure to listen to. Also, you will learn that 2 different brands of very well respected, higher end speakers will sound entirely different. You kinda need to find what sounds good to you. Different strokes for different folks n all that...
Also, I can't vouch for the sub or the 3.5s I posted...

Nah, I'm not saying your not smart enough. I'm just saying it isn't easy.
From what I've read on here those who bought the Boss amplified sub like it.

I'm planning on getting the boss bass1200, do I need to run separate power to it? what wires do i need to run from the radio to the sub? what is usually included, and what extra will i need?
I have the after market Panasonic radio.

Most likely you will have to run a seperate power wire from the battery to the Boss. You will need to run the accessories wire from the head unit to the Boss to tell it to turn on. You will need to run a set of RCA cables from the head unit to the Boss and then probably a short ground wire from the Boss to a close by grounding point ( probably one of the seat studs since it will be closest ). That should do it, shouldn't need to do anything else except mount the Boss behind the seat. However, I'd wait on purchasing the power wires until you get the unit, it may come with them. The RCA's on the other hand probably won't be included.
