It's too bad you can't control the volume level of the sub independent of the door speakers, not on my 2012 anyways. Does it make any difference if you change the fade more to the rear speakers?

I visited the pros at my local car audio shop, and I'll be taking it Monday to have the Sony sub and enclosure replaced with a custom built box (can't be longer than 18") with a 10" subwoofer and a dedicated amp. $450 OTD including installation. So there goes my Livewire TS for May. But I think I will be a lot happier with the result. I like the door speakers, they sound good. But the whole system is missing a little "kick".
Pics and comments on Tuesday.
They didn't try to talk you into the equalizer or whatever it's called as well?
Also are they building a box that will use the stock hardware mounts under the seat?
So much for just replacing the speakers...can't get there from here. You're ending up with a full-on audio build. Don't worry we all started out "with just the speakers".
Here's the pics of the custom box. It sounds pretty good. I have the knob turned almost all the way down. I think the amp they used was a bit overkill. But better to have too much than not enough!
The box is not bolted to the floor. It just lays there. It's pretty heavy and it doesn't seem to move or rattle. The box seems very well made and the size is perfect.
