From The Driver Seat
Our little HHR sounded great and the new square sub from MTX provided plenty of bass for the cabin. We were surprised with the output of the 6 1/2-inch MTX co-axials as the mids and highs were ample for the Chevy. Utility was important and with our custom yet functional subwoofer box, we can lay the cargo cover over the top and still throw stuff in the back. Meeting our budget was a key concern and we achieved what we were going for. There are two catches. The HHR owner had a Pioneer D-2 head unit installed in his diesel truck, and after selling off the huge beast, he kept the Pioneer unit and wanted it installed in the HHR. This helped us meet our budget and without it, we would have probably spent closer to $2,000. Also, the price doesn't include the custom sub box. Each store varies with custom pricing. Call the one closest to you to get an estimate. All in all, the install was a huge upgrade and now all we have to do is choose the playlist thanks to our aux input.
