New sub, amp, and processor!

Did a little digging and found some good reviews for Method Sound in Costa Mesa, Ca. Went down and met with Michael and Jamey and we discussed my car, my budget, and my expectations. I have the base audio system.

* Dynamatted.
* They ordered and installed the HK tweeters.
* Built a box for under the flat load floor in the back and put in a JL 10TW3.
* Re-ran all audio wires removing all parallel runs, used solid connectors, etc
* Installed a Kenwood Excelon XR900-5 amp.
*** Amp feeding tweeters, front doors, under seat mids, and sub.
*** Rear door speakers powered off the HU.
* Installed an Audison Bit ONE processor (man, I love this thing)

I'm still waiting on the last piece: Ported flat load floor with flush grills. Went round and round on how to load the sub in the back, but I am completely happy with the delivery and the sound. Only lost half of that little area under there. Still enough room for the jack kit, a can of slime, 100 ft of rope, a small tool kit, emergency water, and a jacket.

Once I have the ported flat load floor, I'll snap a few pics and post them up.

I would recommend Method to anyone wanting something more from their Mini audio. They did excellent work and deliver exactly as promised. Happy, happy, happy.

Sounds great! Under the flat load floor is the perfect place to store your subs to keep then safe!

4 pics in my user gallery. That's all it would allow me to upload. :/ I'll have to dump more photos and link them back if anyone is interested.

I have been looking for a set up for my Clubman and you seem to have found some high quality sound I'm curious of where you found that back floor mat.
