3. I have OEM kicker subwoofer, highly recommend to get the bass limiter harness ($11 part) or the bass would be very messy. with the limiter, the bass is a lot cleaner. I replaced the door speakers and rear speakers in additional to the oem subwoofer. I think it is a great budget stereo upgrade (get done by under $700 and super easy installation). I know many people recommend oem+ but I don't want to spend so much money in the audio system at a car that is not well isolate from noise. It sounds best when the car is parked and not driving lol. It is like having a best computer monitor system but looking at the direct sun light - you just not gonna get the best out of it.

I just installed the oem kicker sub yesterday w/limiter harness. What are your current eq settings? I'm having a difficult time lowering the bass. I find the sub can be too punchy at times.

Now that the door speakers and rear are powered by the sub amp ( i think), did you notice a huge difference sound output/quality? Which speakers did you use to replace factory.

I'm probably going to dynamat the trunk for rattles, but am not sure my next step for the audio system. I want the system to sound robust/warm, but not too punchy.

Sorry a lot of questions.
