I would love to find one of the earlier rear plastics with the holes for the sub cut out. I'm always on the lookout for one of those local. I think they came in earlier NBS of all flavors, not just denali

Why don't you just dremel yours out? There's a member on here who did it. A little time consuming, but you'll get it done.

If I can't find one by the time I'm ready to put in a 10 behind that panel, then I'll drill those little holes out or take out the grille completely. I think it would look better with the factory panel though

2 12" Alpines powered by a 500w alpine amp sitting in place of the factory box.
My factory sub was totally shot.
(I've since taken my 3rd row out and strapped the box down in its place with the bass port firing forward between the 2nd row captains.)

very nice. thats definitely a step up. bet it sounds good.
one day i may want to go big instead of home. :) but that always entails a strong alternator, power caps, etc.., and of course, all the $$$$$ for the upgrades

I'm still using all the stock electrical with this. Turning on everything I could (and the subs hitting hard), I could just barely hit 100 amps being pulled on the alternator. Installed, I only paid $1000 for the subs, box, amp, and install.

Noobs:deal:.
00-02 have rear 8"
03-06 have center console.

Mine will have both this winter.

All years will still have the holes and brackets like as if there was a sub mounted but only way to tell is if the screen/holes is cut out of the rear panel
