new aftermarket sub and box
Amp wiring kit. And your done.


this is the setup im tring to hook up need to know what to hook into remote and l/r for line out i would like to keep it all in the trunk

 

I just ordered a Memphis shallow sub for the stock sub box that i got off ebay.
For the Memphis sub i will need to notch the box a little to fit it in.
I was able to test fit the display one at a local shop.
I'll post pics of the install.

 

anyone know what the max depth for the sub can be?

 

my 10" kicker shallow mount was 3/8" too deep. look up the specs and subtract 3/8"

 

u got a compvt? so i think thats 4 3/8 for those so basically 4 inches.. what did u do to resolve that? or did u just return it. I get an awsome discount on kicker and like to use them if i can

 

I just put a ring of foam around and drew up the plastic with the screws.

 

This is for the person wo put the jl 10w7 in the stock enclosure
What all do you need to do t get it to fit?
What sub will go in with little to no mods to the stock enclosure

 

really wanna do this one...

 

Is this the sub you used?

And was it really no cutting to install?
Did the screw holes line up?
Any pictures?
Thanks

 

I have a doubt. There when creating a adapter cable for speaker high level input to amp. How did you connect the cables of the subwoofer to the amp if it was removed from the beginning? Not sure if you connect it again to the connector of the oem amplifier or not? more pictures would be great, man.. And the output connection to the subfoower from where did you get the cable? Could you explain a little bit more the input and outspeaker speaker/subwoofer procedure. Thanks a lot

 

Nice write up ill have to try this soon

 

I've read that some who didn't want as much kick just bought a 300w Pioneer amp and wired it to the stock sub - would that process be the same as this write-up, minus the sub work?

 

My AGU 60 amp fuse burned! ...I need help, can't power up my amp.

 

Ok so I recognize the stock black/red harness, but where does the harness with the white/black wires come from? That's the only question that I can see isn't really clearly answered.

 

You can get some splice connectors so you don't cut your wires and hook a line out converter to the rear deck speakers. This is for installing an aftermarket amp. For a remote wire, I ran mine to the fuse box on the A/C fuse. That way unless you turn your key completely on your amp won't kick on so you can listen to the stereo without running your battery down quickly with the amp. Plus it kicks off with everything else when the car is being started. You can also reverse mount a full size 10 in the stock box. You just need to reverse the polarity in which your sub is hooked up. Negative to positive, positive to negative.

 

I'll be doing this same set-up next week... But with an alpine amp thats 500watts rms


Any thoughts or anything I should expect?

 

and how do i "build the box out"

 

nice write up must try

 

Fml.. Just seen this post. I was going to mount my w3 and saw it was too big.. How did you build it out?

 

Could I mount the amp on the other fender across from the sub?

 

Yes..if you build or buy some brackets to place the amp on a flat surface.

 

Very Nice

lol j/k but seriously why is the sub backwards?

 

Lmao....

Subs too big for the box. So it's reverse mounted and the polarities are reverse-wired to make up for the reverse mount
