I have done what others have said is impossible! Behold:


Sizing things up.


The Gear.


Step 1: Remove the stock sub.



The old Amp.


Will it fit?


Step 2: Test Fit.


Step 3: Remove the box.


The stock wires are nicely labeled.






Step 4: Relocating the wires.


Step 5: Run the wires through the box.



Step 6: Wire it up. (I chose to use the speaker inputs over the RCA's from the head unit preamps since I already have the adapter up front.)







All Finished and ready to slam, now I need to track down all the rattles this has uncovered...

hows that sound?

mr_lore

LOUD, but I got her tweaked pretty good and its a nice balance with the stock speakers and alpine 9853 headunit. Mathematically it should hit 3x harder than stock and thats how it feels, perfect for what I set out to achieve.

Nicely done! Could you maybe have hid the amp underneath the sub in that little foam thingy? It would look a little cleaner that way IMO. Now if only we could buy the sub box alone!

tC9o9

and they said it couldnt be done!!!

nice job, placement of amp is aite, i woulda hid the wires

also just out of curiosity, why didnt you mount it in the cargo area underneath the trunk panel?

mr_lore

I wanted the amp out in the open for two reasons, heat and the fact that it lights up blue will compliment my future lighting plans for back there.

Looks pretty sweet! I would definitely re-run those amp wires, just to hide them a little better.

looks awesome man.

Thanks guys, gotta leave the amp Wires with a little slack so the seats can still lay down, Im all about adding functionality without sacraficing existing features.

Very nice! I was about to do this as well. But im gonna wait until the bazooka blows. :D

i did this with a kicker sub a whiles back-much better than the bazook setup. the bazooka's amp is the size of a friggin palm pilot. the only thing i did differently was to have the port hole sealed up. there's a lot of space inside that enclosure and i wanted to tighten up the sound a little bit.

IceNine

Any decent amps you could fit inside that thing that would still run somewhat cool?

titolito

Crank that puppy up! Remember: 11 is louder than 10!

If i try this with the stock HU would it be worth it????
I would like to do something like this but if its not worth it than ill leave it the way it is!!!
Would the stock HU be able to handle the new amp and sub??? Thanks...im a newb when it comes to audio stuff, forgive me!!!

the thing is deep as hell and has alot of space, but i still wouldn't recomment putting an amp inside the enclosure-first off, there's not a lot of space, second, there's gonna be a lot of rattling and vibration from the subwoofer, which may or may not mess up the amp. it might not cause any problems, but who wants to chance it.

theSciontologist

does the cover still go on or is the sub too big... haha imma do this when mine blows too =) or when i feelin that i need more bass.... which might be soon.... time to crank it up!

mr_lore

I didnt try but from the looks of it I think that would be a negative...Why would you want to cover up a nice looking sub anyways?

Fsu1dolfan

Any input with using the stock HU with the same sub and amp!!!! good idea - bad idea - would it help!!!

O5_TRD_tC

it will still be an improvement regardless, you can try to contact SCIONtific_tC, he has a stock deck and two 12" type S. But hes only pushing the amp 1/4 of the way and its way too much already.

SCI_TC_GUY

I'd definitely seal up the port.... that enclosure SHOULD be tuned to the t/s parameters of the bazooka sub.... by swapping the sub out, it'll affect the sound.... sealing the box will allow it a larger range to attempt to accomodate whatever sub you decide to put in there...
