I've been thinking about getting subwoofers for the F, cause the ML doesn't provide enough boom for the music I listen to. Can you guys post up pics or any info about the systems you're running. (sub sizes, boxes, wiring, amps, If i need a new deck, watt specs) THANKS!

Im running a 12 inch JL w6 with a 500 mono block amp running to it in a ported box. It is perfect for me.

^ how did you wire it

zapa

sorry guys i put down the wrong thing for my amp it is actually a Monoblock Class D Subwoofer Amplifier, 600 W. I did not install it myself so wiring questions can not really be answered. its at 4 ohm sub so it has 400w RMS. Ill find out more info soon, I'm actually having a problem blowing fuses one goes about every 3 months and I'm tired of putting in new fuses. Any suggestions there??

Im looking into the same thing right now, I have a good friend that is a nationally recognized MECP Master Installer. Going to pick his brain on a system in the next couple weeks. Ill let you know what he recommends and If we do something Ill document with photos and a write up for everyone

I just started gathering up the stuff I need to add my subwoofer. I grabbed one of the offerings for the 2IS that my buddy's Car Audio shop offers. This box fits so amazing and without it I would not have installed a sub in my car.



I went with a 10W6V2 and I am either going with a JL XD300 or XD600 amp.

A question to others with Subs installed....are you still using your stock sub?
If not did you remove it?

Do a search for car audio install. My stuff should come up. Also a few others.

Thanks man.
The best part is that I can get to my spare and the box doesn't need any thing to hold it in place. No holes in my car and it slips out for track days in seconds.

Get a bigger fuse.

RCB who makes your sub enclosure? It looks very factory. I have been looking at the 4080 enclosure for the right side and it looks a lot bigger.

Okay I went to my audio place today and was dealing with their sales man. He was shooting me a bunch of bull**** so I asked to talk to the guy that installs the sound system and he said what happened was they used a cheap fuse box and that so much heat from the engine actually melted part of the fuses box which started to cause the fuse to arc because there was no longer a tight fit in between the fuse and the connectors. He suggested that i get rid of the piece of junk connector so thats what i did. He suggested the set up in the picture. They also re tuned my amp and actually we able to throw some more watts to my sub because they had turned it down to allow the sub to break in. They charged me $60, which I'm not so happy with but whatever.
