Yeah I have a LOC tapped into a speaker output. Send me a PM about the exhaust.

Update just got the system in but camera couldn't catch the light so pictures will be up tomm and the system is real clean very impressed on the installation....now on to the interior, the bass **** is flush with one of the empty plastic slots next to the steering wheel. The bass hits hard but some notes are being picked up like they should. I feel like they didn't tap into the right wire. Taking it back tomm to find out what's going on. Bass is being controlled more through headunit and not much with the ****. If anyone has experience please chime in now.

How is your setup done? Aftermarket sub and amp to factory head unit? ML package or no? I've been toying with the idea of adding some thump, but I don't want to lose what little trunk space we have in our cars.

non-ML package with navi with the Audiocontrol LC2I connected, one of the best ones you can get. No expense was spared, wired with Rockford Fosgate 4 Gauge Wiring kit

Nice. how does it compare to a regular ported box? Ive got the same setup with a regular slotted port box.

I haven't heard a regular ported box in an IS to compare with but it hits hard, the amp and everything still needs tweaking because certain songs aren't hitting but will be resolved soon. Overall I'm pleased with the setup, its enough bass...and the best part....the amp is turned all the way down

I like it so far, definitely confident when I open trunk around friends and random people that look as they walk by....I was also impressed when the shop was done because they couldn't put a amp rack so they cut out a piece of mdf shaped to the corner of trunk and drilled the amp into that.
