I used a Dual 4 ohm JL 12W3v2 in a 1.22 Cubic foot sealed enclosure. Dugless 10-11-2003, 10:05 PM The amp is a D Class JL 500/1 runing at 500 watts @ 2 ohms. spdspappy 10-11-2003, 10:08 PM Wow. Looks like it just BARELY fit! Dugless 10-11-2003, 10:10 PM I also installed a Bass PEQ with remote in the empty MD slot. It sounds great and really compliments the Bose system. Dugless 10-11-2003, 10:11 PM Here's the remote PEQ spdspappy 10-11-2003, 10:14 PM Sweet setup! Did you do everything yourself? Dugless 10-11-2003, 10:19 PM Yea, It wasn't too tough. The only problem I ran into was a remote turn-on issue with the Bose amp. I ended up using a lead from the cigarette lighter. I put the sub in every possible position as well, facing up, down, forwards, etc... Firing back and loading the trunk was the best. mikeb 10-12-2003, 05:58 AM dugless that is just sweet awesome job garbagedook 11-03-2003, 12:38 AM Hi Dugless, Nice pics! Where is the input to the amp coming from? The rear speakers? If so, would it have been possible to use the Signal Sensing Turn-On feature of the JL 500/1 for the remote turn-on? In other words, just tap into the rear speakers and run it into the amp (since it takes high input), and flip the switch for signal sensing ON. I'm thinking of getting a JL 500/1, so I was wondering if you had any thoughts about this. Thanks! Thanks, Duke rotarygod 11-03-2003, 01:28 AM I am about to do an install in a truck using 2 JL 500/1 amps on 4 12 JL 12W3v2-D4's in a ported box in the bed. mikeb 11-04-2003, 01:47 PM Originally posted by rotarygod I am about to do an install in a truck using 2 JL 500/1 amps on 4 12 JL 12W3v2-D4's in a ported box in the bed. cant wait to see that:D XeRo 11-07-2003, 09:47 AM Earmuff's anyone????? miata2rx8 11-12-2003, 06:29 PM What did you pay for these components? I have been quoted $994 (tax and everything) for a custom box install with a JL 250 W Mono sub and a 10W3 JL subwoofer. Parts are about $668; custom box and labor the rest. Said they would tap into the front 9". Seems a little high- what are your thoughts? Kev 11-12-2003, 07:54 PM Originally posted by miata2rx8 What did you pay for these components?

Said they would tap into the front 9". Seems a little high- what are your thoughts? It depends heavily on the end result. Whether they make the money on the components or the labour is of no consequence really. You could ask how much it would be if you supply the amp and woofer from elsewhere to refine the price comparison... If the "custom box" is an off the shelf cube strapped into you boot, walk away. miata2rx8 11-14-2003, 08:32 AM this is a high end shop which does do very good work. They are offering the same components, installed, in a standard (not custom built) box for $589- less than what they are charging for just the components for the custom box install. Thats what seems so much. BomberNYC 09-20-2005, 04:51 PM posting to make pictures appear. rx8fanatic2085 09-21-2005, 10:35 AM If i was you and was planning on doing that. I would just buy the box and sub... then have best buy install it how you want it. I've always taken my stuff to best buy and they have never let me down A+++ on all the work they have done to all my cars. Tamas 09-21-2005, 11:55 AM Best Buy? Store shops? :eek: Shudder... had my bad experience with a store shop once... that was the last time I ever took anything to a place like that. |
