Nice, I know what I’ll be doing next weekend!

I did this same thing two years ago, based on a post on this forum. Sure wish I had this kit and the installation instructions - would have made it a lot easier and quicker. Either way - highly recommended. Sounds awesome!

most importantly, how does it sound? does it make a big difference

It adds a lot of low end that was severely lacking.

And it booms.

I just wrapped up the install and filming. I need to edit the video. Will probably be late today or early tomorrow. Took us 3 hrs with filming.

just out of curiosity did you test just adding an amp to the existing speaker? i imagine thats the biggest part of the improvement? (if im gunna tear it all apart im going to replace the speaker too, just curious)

Nope. Knowing rivian used the cheapest sub there probably.

Apologize for the delay on the install video. I had started editing last night, but I was pulled to the ER for my son. Currently awaiting surgery for appendicitis.

Hopefully you guys understand. Family comes first. Will get the video posted as soon as I can.

Oh, Jeez,

Good luck with the surgery! Glad you caught it in time!!

Kiddo is back home and in good condition. Crazy that removing your appendix is now an out patient surgery.
