Let me see your sub setup

[JBeezy]

Id like to put a sub in my car, but not the bulky box. I think I saw a box someone had that sat up on the deck where the factory 8" sub is. Id love something like that. Can that be bought somewhere or was it custom made? I think id like to have 1 12" sub at the very least. Thanks in advance

[JBeezy]

Is that the Infinity Basslink? How's the sound? I was looking at these. I replaced my OE sub with a Kicker Shallow Mount 6.5" woofer. It's OK at best. It was only 65 bucks, worth a try, but I want something better.

It works and sound great.

The bass won't cause the fillings to fall out of your teeth but it's to my liking.

Thanks. I'm not looking for Earth shaking bass. Just a tad more depth.

Nicely done. I'll look at this option as well! It's been pushed to the back burner for now.

I dont like the way its supported but wanted it to match the carpet...(the big black bracket that is)

10" JL Audio w/ 600W Digital amp

[BAD MERC]

The tire was moved to the false floor and the OE sub was removed. This was three 8ohm 10's. I built all of it when I did car shows.

ABS to 1,000', 2 man, 12 hours.

Is this your setup? Is it ported through the rear deck in the stock location? LMK, thanks!

10" Polk Audio sub in a sealed box powered by 250W JL Audio amp. sounds much better than the stock

I did one like Jim's and I did one using the MTX with a similar location/set up.

I liked 'em both but don't expect the bass of two ported 12 inch subs or anything like that.

I liked both of my set ups and would do them again.

[2,4shofast]

Here is my current setup, I did it a while ago and it needs some refreshing but havent had time as of yet!

[JBeezy]

I just need that box for a 10" that sits where the factory sub is.

I love this set up, it's very clean. I plan on doing a similar set up with 2 12's

Here a shot of what Rich put in the back of Lemonade. Hope he chimes in to explain what he did. There appears to be pre-amps that are not hooked up, but the Digit Design sub will change your heart rate when sitting in the MM with the volume turned to half way up.

Holy ****! Look at the size of the magnet on that sub. Is that a 15" or something?

John that looks awesome.

What is the set up on the driver's side?

there are two 550 watt amps one on each side of the trunk - one on the left is for inside the car and the one on the right is for the subs - the amps are cliif design

That's really nice. Minus the subs and amp how much would a custom job like this cost? I'd love to see this in person.

Yours is really nice too I need something like this built for mine.

Six areas of special attention for my sound upgrade:

1) Alpine SPR-60C component speakers on my door, cutting out a space to place a tweeter (http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/mp-rdp/IMG_0515_zpsaccf55e8.jpg). Big, big improvement in sound.

2) Trunk lid and space rear of license plate coated with a Hushmat damping pad (http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/mp-rdp/IMG_0514_zps233f3e04.jpg). Trunk does not rattle (see sub setup (http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/mp-rdp/IMG_0511_zps7b3531c8.jpg)), and bass sound is rebounded back into the car.

3) Pioneer DEH-80PRS headunit (http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/mp-rdp/IMG_0516_zps09e0bc60.jpg) w/ 5.0 volt preamp output. No matter how high volume placed, no hiss or other distortion heard through speakers during silent periods (e.g. between tracks).

4) Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface; allows volume and track-change control from steering wheel.

5) XS Power S3400 battery (http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/mp-rdp/IMG_0518_zpsa76cf829.jpg). It's a premium over a standard battery, but lights don't flicker. Seven year warranty.

6. Small mic installed near rearview (http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/mp-rdp/IMG_0519_zps931e71c0.jpg) for hands-free bluetooth cell calls.

Is this your setup? Is it ported through the rear deck in the stock location? LMK, thanks!

It is ported...in the stock location...the 6 disc cd changer is replaced with the amp...
