AngelC,

Correct type of sub, but 10" is too large for the factory location.

Ah ok. Would replacing the stock Nd speaker actually make that much of a difference?

 

Absolutely, if the free-air installation is executed properly.

kicker used to make a pair of 6x9 subs...try to see if you can find a shop that still sells them..i think the model number was F6x9C. Those would work great and they sound pretty good for 6x9 subs...

 

Since I'm considering adding a 50x4 Amp along with replacing my other speakers, would I need an addition mono-amp to power the free air woofer? Or should I get an Amp with more channels? Any amp recommendations would also be great. Thanks for all the info.

 

AngelC,

You can use the 4ch amp in 3ch mode with 2 channels in stereo for your mids and highs and the other 2 channels bridged to the subwoofer. You can buy a 5ch amp and have the ability to fade between your front and rear speakers. And as you have stated, you can buy a 2ch or mono amp to power the sub. Definitely power the sub in any configuration. Check out JL Audio's 500/5 amplifier.

Good luck,

I'm planning on two amps; a JL300/4 for the componenets and a JL 300/2 (bridged) for the sub. The main reason for my not using the 500/5 you mention is dimensions. It's too long to mount vertically on one side of the pass through (on the front trunk bulkhead). The 300/4 and 300/2 are shorter, and one will fit on each side of the pass through. As a skier, I want to keep my pass through. With a coupe, the 500/5 might fit in the stock amp location, but you'd better measure first; it's quite large.

Consider the 250/1 instead of the 300/2 on bass. The 250/1 is a class D amplifier and you won't notice the difference between 250watts and 300watts. Physically the 250/1 is smaller and it incorporates an infrasonic filter which will limit over-excursion of the sub.

Thanks, good sugestion, but I already have the 300/2. I do like the fact that it is the exact same dimensions as the 300/4, so it will be symetrical looking on the trunk bulkhead.

I think I'm gonna jump on one of these..MTX Thunder 4405. What do you think amg35?

 

AngelC,

My preference is for the JL amps. The MTX amplifier is considered a quality amp and would certainly be a great improvement over the factory amp. If you are getting a great deal, grab one.

I am running the JL AUDIO E Series 6 channel amp to JL AUDIO 6.5 XR in the front and 5.25 XR Series to the rear. And the sub in the stock location with a 2003 model Kicker CompVR. Kicker CompVR handles more watts than the regular comp. I am running about 175 watts in 4 ohm with the gain on the amp to the max. However due to annoying rattle from third brake light I am dynamat Extreme the whole entire back dash from top and from under the trunk.

 

Here's my 12" IB JL
