so i finally swapped my sedan sub with a ID 8 in STOCK Deck Location.....

I started at 3pm finished at 9 and still wasn't finished. Spent a lot of time eating and planning it out, also I was so scared to break things it took me a lot of time to realize I just hard to pry and finally did it.


The ID 8 which was recommended from Wrathernaut is a great size and fit in well. Just had to drill some mounting holes and I dont think any other speaker has the same bolt patterns of the bose.


I got everything in, LOC and new amp, just to realize that only fuse I had for the amp was blown, Since it was Easter everything was closed.


I should be able to get this up and running in the next few days once things slow down with work.


** Wrathernaut if your ever in the bay Ill get you for lunch or some drinks, I would have never been able to figure this stuff with out you.

** also noticed that with the stock "sub" unplugged I feel like the SQ of the rest of the car has gone up.
When listening to Kaskade or other house music none of the bass is missing and everything is much crisper.
when listening to top40 I feel like a tiny bit of bass is lost but over all everything is much better.





Will have a review once its up and running.

So are you infinite-baffling/free-airing that ID8? Did you seal up or sound deaden the deck?

Is it using the stock Bose amp, or are you powering it with another amp?

As for amp, Im using A JL Audio J2 250.1,


Im using it as a IB. I also didnt get my fat mat in until today. I just wanted to use my open Sunday to get it bolted in and wired up.

If I were to do it again, it would take more than an hr total.
I will seal it up this week when I get the new fuse.


....also I am thinking about relocating the amp to under the passenger side seat. It looks like there is enough clearance under there.
I need all of the trunk I can get, plus I have no idea where to mount the amp clean. The floors in our car aren't even, and im not too big on drilling in to the trunk floor, also the back of our seats have a weird x brace, so I would need to bolt it with only 2 bolts or some kind of home made bracket.
