Bose w/ aftermarket system

I just purchased my 01 SE and it has the Bose system in it. I have 2 Rockford Fosgate 10" HX2's with a RF 750S amp from my old truck and I want to add it to the Bose system. I tried using the search feature but it wouldn't let me search. Can anyone tell me how it would sound if I added my subs to the Bose. Does anyone have a link on the directions how to do it? Any opinions on doing this? All welcome.

Oh, and where to dynamat..... here's a good tip....

When you lay down the back seats of your car, you see that nice little black plastic trim that covers the pass through (on the cabin side of the pass through)....... PULL THAT OFF and dynamat the BACK of the plastic. That stuff rattles like crazy. I used a truck pack of Dynamat Extreme to do it, but I only have it and one small triangle on the trunk done, and it stopped about 98% of all my rattles.

great advice!

I have a bulk pack of xtreme (36 square feet) and needed to know some good places to put it!

any other suggestions?

Start with the black plastic. Then use your ears to listen for vibration. Once you find the vibration, use your hands to apply minimal pressure to see if the vibration disappears. If so, DynoMat there.

This is for those who can't afford to DynoMat the entire trunk, but still want to get rid of the majority of the rattles.

How much weight does a full trunk dynomated add?
