Ground: There is a ground bolt under the handle you use to pull the spare tire out.

I still did not make the final wiring routes and still did not secure the amp in place below the NAV drive. Tomorrow I will paint the box and install the sub then finalize everything. Box details will be in the next post.

and here are the pics:
Can you tell me where you got that white connector that plugs into amp?
I bought a used Amp but it came without that white connector for the speaker wires...

You will have to go to a car stereo shop and get connecters. They may have the universal kind that uses the RCA plugs, rather than the brand-specific line-level plug you are referring to. Either is fine. Just pay attention to the different instructions!

Yep, thanks to him...

I got The sub from Amazon for $59.00 + the MR350 amp from eBay for $59.99 + MDF from HomeDepot, wires...all together should be around $180-200 which is great I think.

This is a good mod after my Navi and Intravee retrofit

I looked at the cover that covers the sub and it looks like its solid plastic covered with some foam material on the inside. I am thinking about drilling few holes in it but without going through the covering material on the other side.

Maybe this way it will provide better sound even with the closed cover...
What do you think?

First try the install without drilling any holes and see how it sounds, I heard that keeping the cover really doesn't effect the sound that much,.........

Guys!!!

I am thinking to start selling the idea and censor the box dimensions
Every member reading the thread should donate 1$ then I will send him the dimensions.

If you see the hits on the topic, this will make me around 3,000$
