Overview of system
The PLV-7 Subwoofer System's LAT subwoofer array consists of six 7-inch cones that provide the same bass punch as a pair of 12" subs. Alpine houses the array in a super-efficient Ultra Reflex enclosure, and matches the subs up to a highly efficient 500-watt digital amplifier. The result? Clean, pounding bass from an enclosure that takes up 30% less space than a dual 12" box.

Step1.
I began be adding a little eDead sound deadening material. Had extra so I thought why not tighten things up a bit. The deck lid is covered though not shown here, and so is the back of the trunk.
Step 2.
Astral came over to lend a gracious hand and knowledge for the wiring. We routed the 4GA power by means of a drilled out hole on the passenger side firewall. Other connections made by splicing into BOSE amp wires following instructions from threads here. The red wire you see below is actually part of my custom grounding setup.
Step 3.
Connected all wires for testing and it rocked! Buttoned everything back up, cut a 1.5" slice into carpet to run wire into sub box and done. It's one heavy box that's for sure. Fitment is perfect inside the trunk depression with 1.5" clearance all around. Pic below is actually the test fit. Had to remove trunk latch just so it could fit.
Remote gain knob.
Thanks again Astral!
