They way you went through the door, whoever had my car installed thier sub wires that way i took it to a Audio place and they told me that way will eventually bend the wires to much and start to cause distortion, the guy hooked it up almost exactly how you have yours. But hey if it works do you, im not knocking because i obviousl cant do myself had to pay someone to install mine LOL. And after i put in my rear strut brace i lost like a foot of trunk space because my sub box is the exact same height as it and cannot fit behind it.
