Replace stock sub
#19
That's what I was thinking. But wanted to hear other members ideas on this. I will post pictures once I am done with the install my subs are tied down with zipties and 3m double sided tape right now till tomorrow where imma drill and bolt it down. I am using the avic D3 HU and I have the JL Touring amp to power the subs

For those who put the 10" sub on the stock location (with or without an amp)....Do you have aftermarket head unit?
Second questions...I have a '01 GS430 with nav and really really really miss my MP3 songs...Is there a way to keep the stock nav and replace the radio with aftermarket MP3 player??? I just love to have a way to play MP3 songs, but somehow keep the nav system...is it even possible????

So if I understand it right, I can just buy the integration kit and hook it up to my existing nav system and that's it? Once it's done I'll have the cable that connect from the nav system to the ipod/iphone/itouch device? No need to modify, customize anything? I'd like everything stock if at all possible...

I've searched and found a few good threads but they were all out dated. Well, I am planning to take out my 2 '12 subs and put in a '10 sub in the stock location. Got tired of all the rattle. Any reconmendations as far as subs? I want something that sounds great with bass.

I was able to fit a 12" Image Dynamics IDQ12v2 in the stock location and it sounds great. It gets plenty loud and the extension is nice.
I wished I taken pictures of the actual install.
What I recommend is to make a baffle and mount it underneath the sub. The metal on the rear deck is very thin and a baffle will help stiffen it. I mounted the baffle to the car using the stock subwoofers threaded holes and used a gasket and silicone in between the car and baffle.
I used 3/4" Baltic Birch but MDF is fine. Look up elemental designs. They actually sell a baffle there if you do not have the tools to make it. You should also consider dampening the car using Dynamat, Raamat, etc.
