[QUOTE="TheVikingRL, post: 11931216, member: 129239"] 1: JL Stealthbox is worth the money IMO unless you're experienced and can build something yourself. I currently have one in my truck and am very happy with the output/sq. I've heard nothing but good reviews about the Mustang box as well. 2: If it were my money I would purchase the JL XD600/1 amp. Actually, that's what I did do with my money:) It's compact, accepts speaker level inputs, has a remote bass level control capabilities and a decent crossover built in. I wouldn't worry about overpowering the sub, underpowering is a much bigger issue. The JL bass knob will actually fit in the factory radio bezel but it JUST fits. See my link below for the install. 3: JL sells an amp install kit. Wouldn't much matter who's kit you use except the JL kit actually doubles your warranty on the JL amp when used. So, no-brainer here. You won't necessarily need a line-level converter since the amp accepts speaker level inputs. You will need a 12v signal source which was a bit of a pain to isolate. Here is what I did when upgrading my Shaker 1000. Regarding the signal source just tap off of the rear speakers since they're full range or use the sub-out from your new head unit.
