...Neil I like the setup you have there, I know it will look even better when finished. This gives me another idea to think about

 

..hey Lex this is the setup I posted about earlier, he has 2 - 10in JL's mounted in the box,then recovered to match the interior

 

...this is what it looks like underneath, the woofers are firing down towards the floor

 

...now this is my favorite !!!

 

Yes I like that too. Good choice of equipment and very neatly done.

I've built mine in such a way that it can be removed and returned to the original rear seats with just the ML sub providing bass in about an hour. The Alpine head unit has pre-outs with adjustable crossover points to send the desired bass signal to the DLS amp completely independent of the ML amp. The original speakers are retained courtesy of the Beatsonic interface and that also makes it a simple cabling exercise to power the amp on with the head unit.

 

Ok I think I'm gonna go with the ten inch sub in the oem position
What's the best and correct way to hook up the amp that's powering the sub?

Thanks a lot guys!!!!!!

 

Go back and read post four.

 

Yes I read post four but I'm replacing the oem subwoofer with a ten inch sub so how can I install the amp without losing the 16 ohms required by the oem system?

 

I cannot answer your question, I just wanted to make sure you saw that post before you spent money, connected everything and were disappointed...when you figure out the solution, please let us know and post up some pictures!

 

I really appreciate everyone's help thanks to everyone who gave me advice
I will post pictures when I get this thing figured out thanks again

 

It's important to use a rare 16 ohm sub if using the original ML amp to drive it. It would be a straight swap in terms of cabling but if the plan is to add a new amplifier and sub, a 4 ohm load would be fine. The tricky parts are supplying sufficient power and sending the bass signal to the amp.

There are lots of tutorials for car audio that explain matters far better than I could. it may be worth reading advice from suppliers like Crutchfield and others before proceeding.

 

Update:
I'm building a box that goes between the rear wall of the trunk to where the tray that the top
Goes into gonna put a ten inch sub and a amplifier to push it I'll keep you posted

 

 

It'll be cool to see the finished product

 

Looking forward to the finished project!
Take plenty of pictures!
