"Todd, just FYI Speaker Works is not regarded locally"
Isn't Todd considered Local to Speaker Works?

I guess it depends on what you consider local...Santa Fe Springs is part of LA county (I believe?) and Anaheim is part of Orange county, but miles wise I guess they are pretty close...maybe 30 miles or so? There are just so many shops around here that I don't even consider them to be that close, even though I suppose they are Either way, from what I hear and see Speaker Works is not what it used to be.

GS4ADRLexo,

30 miles is local. In fact that is considered neighbors in some states.

Getting back to the question of Sub placement. I built 3 boxes for my GS430, one firing through the seats, one firing up through the deck and finally one firing rear. Keep in mind all of these boxes were sealed 2 chamber (1.5 cu ft per) powered by 2 JL Audio 500/1's going to 2 Kicker S12L7's, I found that firing them to the rear yielded the BEST response. Now, I am focusing on a slot ported box up through the rear deck with the sub facing the rear. I want to get more air into the cabin as possible, probably will be cutting in the rear deck to do so.

Default highly regarded shops

pcmw,
Thanks for the info on TM Engineering; I live in Carson, CA. so I will definitely check them out! I've heard good things about Audio Options on Normandie in Torrance. I'd appreciate any opinions regarding the quality of their work; and the reasonableness of their prices for equipment and/or installation services.

i dunno about the 2nd gen gs but i have a 1st gen gs300 and I have 1 eclipse alum powered off an arc 1500dr. All i did was remove the stock sub and build a custom fiberglass enclosure under the rear deck and above the gas tank. Sounds great the way i have it.
