New box for the sub should be here tomorrow I hope. But to keep busy until then I thought I would post a pic of where I mounted my switch to kill the amp.

I like to keep things hidden as much as possible.

The Rosen actually has sub controls on the touch screen (level, on/off, frequency) but I figure if there is no need for the sub then there is no need to have the amp powered up.

I ordered a speaker box for a single 12" sub to go between the second row captains chairs from Rodney's boxes on EBay.

He currently doesn't have a box listed for a Suburban only a Tahoe. The floor is different due to the shorter wheelbase so the Tahoe box only has a standoff on the end towards the front of the truck and the back sits up on the rear floor board where it steps up. The Suburban has a longer wheelbase so the step up is further back requiring a standoff on both ends.

I spoke with him and after discussing it I told him how to modify it to work in a Surburban and he built it to my specs.

It arrived today and evidently the drop down notch in the floorboard of a Tahoe is wider than a Suburban so I will have to trim about a 1" square off of both sides of both ends to make it sit level.

No big deal... 5 mins worth of work.

After unboxing....This is how it arrived. It has poly fill in it which I am not 100% sure how I feel about it as I have never used it before but I left it in and pushed it down to one end to make room for the sub.

This was after wiring and installing the sub.

I will get pics tomorrow of it installed in the truck after I make the notches to make it sit level. Right now it is either leaning towards one seat or the other.

Yeah, no way you priced oem moldings! The flat ones, denali and 2010 and newer moldings are about $800 a set.

I was referring to the plain ones which mine has; but they've gone up since I last looked, over $100 each now! And you're right about those with the chrome; one of those was $188 before shipping!

GM is really really proud of those things for some reason!
