Premium subwoofer upgrade.

[ArmyGladiator]

Finally got the wiring figured out. I used the description that Jspeed used, only it took me a minute to realize that the wiring before and after the plug for the subwoofer are different, and the description is before the plug. Once I followed that it worked. Here is my setup, I've got some more tweaking to do to finish it but it works, Plan to add some sound matting as well.

The setup a single 300w amp and 2 10" subwoofers. It's from a box I had with my Ram truck, which was too large. I ended up cutting 2 inches out of the depth to get it to fit, since you only have about 6 inches max from the back wall to the seat bracket. I also cut up my factory plastic and trimmed out the top to keep it looking factoryish.

Nice job. How did you reattach you panel since most of us broke the clips to it that are under the window? Thats why i had to make a custom one so now my back looks like one solid speaker box with two amps attached like yours.

I also broke the clips. But i epoxied them back together and cut to fit. Ended up not keeping it in though since it was sinpler without it.

You guys who broke your top clips on the rear panel...did you replace it or figure out a way to secure it sans those 6 top clips? They were impossible.

Awesome....just regular epoxy? I was gonna try some double sided velcro shenanigans but that sounds better.

Yea. Just the regular kind. It will say it’s for plastic on the package.

I thought about going that same route but with those little black boxes on the back wall, I wasn't confident it would fit. ended up making a custom box with two of these subs in 10".

I wonder if it could fit under seat if I remove cubby. I am pretty sure on pass side it may depth wise but that 7" bottom depth may be too lard at the front of the seat height

I pulled the rear seat out and back interior panel off. There is a ton of room behind there if you remove the factory subwoofer.
I want to replace the factory subwoofer with Kickers new HS10 powered subwoofer. However i think i'm going to have trouble due to the fact that the factory subwoofer has 6 wires going to it. Does anyone understand the wiring of the factory subwoofer? I imagine i can't leave those wires disconnected either because i'm sure the head unit will know it's not connected? The HS10 is small enough to put behind the drivers side of the rear seat but i wanted to hide it behind the panel if i could.

Color Coded Wires should be standard across all automobile manufacturers.

I grabbed signal from the wires in the b Pilar.

Good to hear you have it sorted

The powered alpine sub from the kit is going to be shortlived for me now.. Just not enough there. I have too much shit under the back seat though so I gotta find something for behind the rear seat. Keep hoping someone will of tried one of these slim truck box's
