will adding a subwoofer to my 96 es300 cause my factory cd changer to skip due to bass? Has anyone done this, let me know. Thanks.

Just relocate your cd changer, like in your glove box or arm rest or just some where with enough space for it.

what is a good cd changer that could replace mine and go in the glove box or arm rest? I've heard the only one compatible is a pioneer but what model?

Puttin subs in the rtunk will not make the factory changer skip. I have to infinity 12's powered by an MTX 6304 amp and mine is fine. you might have problems with the rear speaker deck rattling though. I suggest using dynamat on the underside and/or facing the subs towards the cabin of the car. I've done both setups, but i like it better when the subs are facing towards the trunk. There was a little more rattling, but nothing a little dynamat couldn't fix.

yea the W7 is a beast, definitely face it away from the seats, in the same position mine are in because that is the best angle to set it up at.

i know people who have gotten noise violation tickets from having one w7

I've only got one 12 in my trunk right now, probably gonna put in another, but anyway, i haven't had any trouble with my cd changer skipping. I've got a similar setup to egainers, where the changer is right next to the sub.

Just one question... why do you guys adding the cd changer... I have two 12 ... and I am using the factory cd changer.... it's very easy to change cd too.....

I ordered a 4 guage wiring kit for my subs, how would I go about wiring the w7 and jl 500 amp? Since the factory headunit doesnt have rca's im thinkin I need to wire to the amp under the seat right?

Damn nice setup!!!!!!

I got one of those noise violation tickets right near my house. I got one 12" kicher L7 and a mono custic amp pushing 400RMS this is through the factory radio. This is one of the loudest hardest hitting one sub systems I have ever heard.

I have an old school PowerPunch DVC 15 (freebie) hooked to an Orion HCCA 250G4 and the stock changer skips like a ****. I had to run my 1/0 guage under the car. Something about having so much juice zip-tied to the fuel lines gives me WOOD.
