I have no clue about the bass, but to play DVD's on your navigation screen, you have to have the Mark Levinson audio package.

Im getting my amp + 12" sub installed tomorrow :P
( Kicker KX250.2 Amp and 12" COMP VR Subwoofer )

Regarding playing DVD, you need Mark Levinson equipped with a Navi

Good Luck!

Uhm...how they work? The way a system sounds depends on the person, but I'm sure it will sound better to you Alot of people here have added 12's...I have a 12 installed in mine and it sounds great to me...

Go for it!

I listen to a large variety of music mostly rock so I added a JL 10" nice tight cleaner sounding bass then you can get from a 12"

I've got an old 12" Pioneer Premeire sub in my trunk and works great for me... I love having my bass

Eventually planning on doing a custom job like I've seen a couple others on this forum have done by having 2 10"s take up those small corners in the trunk

I got 2 JL Audio 10s with JL 500/1 and they sound great. It just depends on what kind of music you listen to.

I am having my 12" Fosgate sub and Fosgate amp installed as we speak...It should be delivered in the next few hours....hope it sounds as good as it did in my other car. It was a pain in the *** from what the techs are telling me. Also, if you need to bypass ur Navi and are in the Los Angeles area, let me know I have people that can do it.

I added two Memphis 10's and they hit very hard, sound great and save a lot of space in the trunk.

Not sure if you play golf or not but if you do can you fit a set of clubs back there because i have been considering having the same kinda custom work done.

i highly doubt you can fit clubs in there if you have subs like that.

if you wanna have golf bags, you have to have subs that are behind the rear seats.
