Good afternoon all,

I have a 401A pony that didn't come with the B&O system. I'm not a big fan of spaee tire subs, but I am a big fan of trunk space. Fortunately since my rear seats are purely decorative, I decided to try out one of these new 12" versions of the Kicker Hideaway series. I plan to mount one behind the driver seat, on the piece of trim right about where the passengers legs would go. It leaves just enough room for the seat to have a full range of motion, and it could be argued (although you'd have to be very convincing) that you could still fit a passenger there.

I don't have it installed just yet, but my plan is to mount it semi-permanently, so that if I for some reason absolutely have to have Johnny ThunderCalves sit behind me, he can have the extra few inches of leg room.

I've experienced the HS10, and they seem to do just what they advertise, ie, provide reasonable bass for someone who is willing to accept compromise.

I'll report back when I finally get them installed, but my work schedule might push that back a bit.

This need to be bolted to the car to work properly as in all the bolts where they are suposed to go or the bass will kind of be very meh.
