Sorry to have taken so long to update. The a pillars with the GB's fit great. I didn't have enough time to finish them and when I drove to vegas the heat pulled the fiberglass away from the pillar where the handle meets. Back to the drawing board on those. It does sound amazing though. I tunes the system through my Helix with a laptop and the sound is where ever I want it loud, clear and amazing sound. I had to leave Alaska early so I rushed everything in and it is a work in progress. The amps all fit under the rear seat and with the seat raised I was able to fit the sub with a 7" mounting depth. Will try to post some more pics tonight.

Pictures!
So remember I had to slap this together last minute. It is still rough, but everything is secure. I am just posting so it might give some ideas.
The sub box in 33"L x 13.5"D x 11"front and 9.25"rear. Actual Box front and rear are 9" x 7.25" the extra two inches give the sub room to move. The sub is 7" mounting depth and BARELY fit. It is braced inside and gives me about 1.1 cubed inside for a tune of about 42 Hz (I like my rock) Only pushing about 1K watts to the sub though and it is rated to 1500 so I might change amp to sundown and see if I can get more out of it.

Nice build.
How do you like the AudioFrogs compared to other speakers you have heard? I want to try them but you can’t find much real world reviews. I had JL C5 components in my 2013 but was thinking of Trying the Frogs in my 17.

I like the pillar work, don't know I have the balls to do that. I'm trying to get a pair of spares to mess with, that way I can always revert...

I really like the audio frogs. I was going to go with Audison after auditioning them, but saw these on the wall and the dealer played them for me. They are incredibly detailed especially the GB25s. The 6 3/4 in the doors are alright, but i have heard better. They did handle a ton of power with no distortion, but breaking them in is imperative.

Thanks. I was really disappointed they came apart like that. I just ordered new pillars at a cost of $110 delivered. So I will re do them. You should try it. They are not that expensive so what do you have to lose?

So the bass is underwhelming to me. I like hard heavy bass. I just bought 2 sundown z v.5 10s. Along with a sundown 6000 watt amp. These subs are stupid big. The box is going to be 10" in the rear sloping up to 12" in the front. 12.5" deep and 56" long with the subs facing forward. Ported and tuned to 32 hertz. I will update with more pics later this week.
I have two Sundown SA10’s on 1200 watts in my Mazda 3 Hatch in a box tuned to 34hz and everyone thinks I have 4 12’s. My Stereo Shop has a customer with a 2017 F250 Crew and two JL 13.5 shallow’s in a custom box, he liked it but I talked him into 4 Sundown X 6.5’s in a custom box aiming forward with the port in the middle. I wasn’t there when they got done with it be they said the customer couldn’t stop smiling. Those little 6.5 have more Xmax then my 12” Rockford P3.
