Makes sense, but wouldn't have a clue which colour wire to use.

Lazy me, it's sitting in the garage! wsPS: I found this was an interesting bass track: Boston Accoustics Bass Test CD: Woofer Cooker.It's hysterical. I play it on my laptop and don't hear any bass at all. Then plug in speakers and woah!In the car, with the stock BFII premo sound, I get worried the rear parcel shelf or spoiler will wobble off. You can really hear the vibration, and that's what the dynamat is aimed to fix.

Kicker make some great amps, and if you went 4 channel you could bridge 2 channels for a sub(s) and use the other 2 for the parcel tray speakers.
