I began my subwoofer install today. I have purchased a Pioneer Premiere sub model TS-SW124D. It's a 12 inch shallow mount sub that only needs 4 inches of mounting depth.
Specs are here .
And here's a pic of the sub:
I'll be removing the stock Bose subwoofer and putting the new one in place. I'm going to be building my own fiberglass enclosure which will fit into the spare tire.
This is my first ever fiberglassing project! I've only got the base layer done so far today, takes quite a bit of time if I must say honestly. Here are some pics of my enclosure SO FAR:
Sorry for the horrible pics. IT's dark out already and I was just taking some quick pictures. That's just the base layer made out of grill cloth. Fiberglassing begins tomorrow! I have made a new cargo floor out of MDF in the exact same shape as the stock board. I'll be cutting a hole in the floor to expose the sub and there will be a piece of plexiglass over the sub for protection against any cargo I carry as well.
Right now the only problem I've encountered is where to place the amp. I have a JL 250/1 amp and it's really small but I still haven't found a stealthy place to install it yet.
I'm thinking under the passenger seat.
Do you guys think that any heat coming from the vent down there will cause any harm to the amp? I'm not so sure so right now it's gonna go in the cargo area somewhere.
Anyways, questions, comments, complaints, etc welcome!
