I think you'll love that Boyo, it's a great camera. Used it for the first time this weekend hooking up a trailer since I angled it down. PERFECT! No I didn't have the underseat storage, so I guess you'd probably have to remove it to install the sub. I wouldn't recommend building it into the storage b/c you might have some rattle issues with the plastic...but like I said I didn't have it so others may chime in with how they did theirs.

How much power are you sending each of them, and how do they sound? Rich and full, warm, thin, bright, etc?

Also, any reason you decided not to use the matching Polk DB sub?

Thanks for any info.
I'm loving the DB's. When I first installed them I set the crossover to 0 but after a few days decided that because they were so close to my head set in the sail panels, they were a bit too bright. I set the crossover to -3db attenuation and now they're perfect! The sound is insanely rich, it's amazing how much clearer the components can get over my rear coaxials. I have an Alpine 75x4 channel amp bridged to 100x2 RMS (the max power handling for the Polks) and the sound is very clear, even when extremely loud. I actually installed the sub first before I made up my mind on speaker selection, but I probably would have still stuck with the Kicker. I don't listen to a whole lot of rap, mostly every variety of rock, so accuracy was more important to me than volume. The bass is incredibly tight and plenty loud for me (I have the gain set to halfway on my 300W amp). I hope this helps!
