    Phone Mount for Navigation

    I'm in the market for a new mount since I can't use my current window mount after installing a 3m clear shield on the front windshield. Some of these mounts are great but I'd like to photos of them being used. Please post photos of them in action.

    I've been looking at getting this sub. The amped enclosures I was thinking about didn't fair well over time. I'm looking for something to conceal easily and something not too large. @tibimakai What's the model of the 10" JL sub you mentioned? enclosure: TS-SW2501S4 sub:

    I just wanted to write and say thanks for all the info that has been posted on this thread. I replaced the dash yesterday. Only took about 15 minutes. Today I'll be doing the doors. I would not have been as confident doing this myself if it wasn't for all the valuable info posted on here. THANKS!
