Gents. I am still deciding what to do, whether to modify my 2012 M6 or move to comp pack. I think I will modify my current car as I love it so much. So, .. I intend to put on the kw lowering blocks and springs and add carbon ceramic brakes as I feel this will improve the steering. I have to say I find it fine as is but when I put no ceramic brembos on my e63 the difference was massive. 10 kgs of unsprung weight less must help. I also fancy some spacers to compliment kw s anyone any advice as to how wide to go? How are people getting on with kw? Cheers Brian (another Brian)

Hey Brian, do you have any pics of your JL subs setup?

They are not the best pictures but listed below are a couple shots. The subs sit in a pre-fab box (a very nice one) and in front of the pre-fab box (as you see in the pics) is a false wall. There are no fasteners on the false wall -- it slides in place.
I asked the shop to make the false wall match the look and feel of the trunk with a subtle custom touch. This past weekend at a local car show someone actually asked (he was a car guy) "did that come like that" which is the effect I was aiming for so it came out how I wanted it to look. btw... The reason I went with the pre-fab box is so you can easily remove the subs if you need access to the rear shock mounts. @Hunter5179 - Do you have some pics of yours? I see you have the same subs.

I went with a 1inch piece of plexiglass and used real aluminum with a heavy wood for the box so my box with the two twelve inch subs is roughly 90 lbs. Helps keep my tires planted lol. If you don't use plexiglass or a thick heavy wood you can probably be in the 65-75lb range.

Yeah it was just an add on. I felt the car needed more low end as well. Adding the subs really adds a lot to the cars audio. It is world's better now. I wouldn't change anything. It's solid, bass is tight with a wide range for different sounds. I have a separate knob for the subs so I can adjust how much bass depending on the type of music. I had this place called ABT electronics do it. They have won many awards. I have no rattles or trunk noises from vibrations. If i can try something different I would try and port a 10 or 12 through the center of the back seat and see how that sounds. No regrets with mine. It's fantastic
