Luke, my caddy was also getting wet behind the seats, I suspected it was the rear window seal but turns out under the drivers seat carpet there is a metal circular plug about 10 cm in diameter that should be 100% sealed, mine had come lose and when driving this is how water was getting in... M

Thanks for the tip, will check this in the morning, the water seems to be more on passenger side though?

just wondering but is that a fli sub the same as that can be found in the twin fli active sub setups? if so i was thinking of buying one of a mate and taking the subs and amp off and making it fit into my caddy behind the seats. well reason asking is what is the depth of the subwoofer? because just wondering if i will have enough space behind my seats at the moment thats all.

after doing sound engineering ive discovered that "Eminance" drivers are samll and compact but really kick out some serious sound, they come in 2-4-and 8 ohms depending what your useing them for, and the cost is so cheap its unbeleavable. look at a company called "Thomann" its a German company and all they products are grade A quality. you will be surprised what you can find on there.

there are different 'grades' of eminence speakers.... the low end stuff of theirs isn't actually theirs, its generic re-stickered speakers made in malasia or somewhere..... there is a huge difference in quality between a 30 quid rebadged eminence speaker and a real 100 quid one of their own...

its exactly the same with fane stuff (the pro audio arm of warfedale) their budget speakers are from the same manufacturer as the budget eminence ones... i know this because i have used both!!

they are also the same people that manufacture the 'bumper' range of cheap speakers...

If you mount the subs lower down, you can fit bigguns in . Im running 2 12" subs right at the bottom of the bulkhead
