Hey guys, just wanted to show you all my new system. It's a Kicker CVR 12 and a Kicker CVR 10 made to fit the stock box(DREMEL FTW!) hooked up at one ohm on a 500 watt insignia amp. It hits hard but the box needs to be rewrapped because the vinyl is torn. I'm also gonna paint the stock box silver to match the car. Let me know what you guys think!

looks nice man. way to get creative on the sub install

 

thanks a lot man...i still got some work to do though

 

when you put the 10" kicker in the stock sub box did you have to change anything or just connect it in

 

The Kicker 10 in the stock box is connected to a separate amplifier. I basically just used the enclosure for my 10. I dont think an aftermarket woofer would move at all with the stock amplifier

one more bump for the night crew

 

ehhh i bet your sq is really really bad. Switch that 12 to a 10 and you will probably have less cancelations and it should sound better

 

how much did that setup cost you? could you just use the connection to stock headunit using the plug to the stock sub? If so could i just hook it up to an amp, wire the new sub to the amp, and since the battery is in the back i could just run it down to the battery? Is there a good place to ground it inder the mat? i hope so then i wouldn't have to do any wiring runing up to the front of the car except what is in the trunk.

 

thats correct shawn

 

**STOCK ENCLOSURE REQUIRES QUITE A BIT OF MODIFICATION TO MAKE AFTERMARKET SUB FIT CORRECTLY**
I removed the stock enclosure and cut the end of the stock harness to use the speaker cables. I then used those speaker cables to run a high to low level converter with rca outputs. From the rca outputs, plug in rca's into the amplifier. At this point i connected the power to the battery and found a good place for my ground. Right underneath the mat where the trunk meets the back of the seats, there is a good ground. I used my dremel to grind off the paint and then used a metal tapping screw straight into the floor for the ground cable. I now connected my subs and tuned the amplifier to my liking.

two different sized enclosures..... nice... lol

 

originally i was only going to put the one twelve and leave the stock sub but i got a really good deal on the Kicker 10 and i thought it would be unique.

 

It's clean.. but messy at the same time... I dunno if I like it haha.. good job, still.

 

thanks man...i think it'll look cleaner after the box is rewrapped and the stock enclosure is painted to match the car.

 

lol leave it no point in making it look good if it sounds shitty. swap the 12 with a ten
