well I was missing the bass enough that I finaly got up to the task of installing a pair of twelves. They sound nice, but the fact that the factory head unit has no pre amp outs, the amp clips out at high volumes(bogus). Nonetheless, they add some much needed bass to the stock system.
here are some pics from my install...

first, open the trunk...

tapping the oem harness for line out signals, what a pain in the ***, but it had to be done...

Looks nice but that extra weight will slow you down.

I have 2 DVC Orion XTR 12s too. In fact everything in my car is orion. Thinking of getting a the small D class (1000) to replace the cobalt 265 I have now... more power!!!!

Don't see too many people use orion on this site. I love the stuff been using it for 10 years. BTW I like your wheels... Tirerack? How are they working for you?
