Bought the thing from crutchfield, installed it in seconds flat, and let me tell you, think this is perfect for average sub guys like me. It is fed by a rockford fosgate 200WRMS amp (bridged) and an Alpine CDA-9847.

I was hesitant to purchase it because I've owned several subs in my life and don't want to spend my money on something that isn't up to par with my taste. Installation was a snap and wiring was equally easy. The unit is VERY solid and the enclosure actually fits better than the previous cargo area.

I decided to wait to cut into my current cargo lid and try it with the lid on. It started rattling it, so I few some cloth in the rattle areas and it sounds great! When I finally do attach the included grill, I'll be sure to post what it looks like. Now, it looks EXACTLY like it did before I installed the sub. It's 100% stealth and I like that.

I listen to a lot of folk, alternative, and electro-pop and it hits very nicely. I even tried out a THX bass test CD and the thing rattled the windows in my garage. It's a wonderful sub for an even better price.

Anyone have any questions, lemme know. A photo is a bit pointless since all it really is doing is replacing something you had covered anyway. When I cut a hole for the grill, I'll post. BTW, the grill is also tough.

 

Got any pics?

Oh, and double post...

Here are some pics of the install. As you can see, I did it a bit sloppy and definitely have room to make it even more unnoticable.

Does the cover go back over the enclosure to hide it?

 

thanks for the pics. Very scary install though.

 

You might want to try and re wire that befor you fry somthing.... Or you push the seat back and pinch a wire and arc it and start a fire.. Good luck

 

Who did the wiring? Stevie Wonder! Pleases redo the wiring before you start a fire.

To answer the question about the lid, yes it goes on to cover the enclosure completely. If someone were to lift up the back mat I have in the trunk and see the two lids, they're never know there was a sub.

As far as the wiring goes, I think you all are right. I will re-wire it and make it safer. Thanks for the help guys!

 

You should stack your amps under the seat, instead of side by side. Use some silicone anti scuff pads on the top amp to give some distance between the 2.

 

Where can I find these pads? I was originally thinking about a wood frame but I don;t have the tools to make that happen. Any other suggestions?
