kicker l5 10'' sub glassed into the factory location, she only lost about 5'' of cargo space, it beats super nice

 

I like that you were able to get a 10" in there but is there anyway to get that install to look more "factory". I like custom installs to look like OEM when you're done. Who else has upgraded to a 10"? I'm going from 2 type R 12"s to a weak Pioneer 8". I think I need at least a 10".

 

looks good, got any pics of it in the making? did you have to chop up the interior panels, or is that a flush mount box? im plannin on a solo 10 kicker there as well, looks like im gonna go ahead with it, thanks

 

i did the blue fiberglass part in a little build up somewhere on here a few months back as a tutorial. i cut out the back part of her car where the factory sub was, cut out all the metal supports and made a wood and fiberglass shell that was sealed tight. then i screwed on the blue fiberglass face from the back panel to it and fiberglassed it to the panel. that sealed it up nicely, and i put the amp in the back where the spare tire is and ran a bass knob up front into the center storage deal on the dash. im sorry i did not finish my tutorial for you guys, my wife was in spain for 2 weeks, when i did it, and had our camera w/ her, hopefully i can answer any questions for you though

 

not really for a this sub, i originally had 3 kicker l5's and she said in her sweetest voice, ''honey i appreicate it, but there is know way you are putting all that $h_t in here"!!! i did a customers car w/ the kenwood excelon flat sub in the factory spot w/ a planet audio 5 channel on that and all the speakers, and it sounds sooooo good, highly recommend that for a true factory look

 

was that in the factory box?

 

yes, the flat sub fit perfect in there, we were just able to give it more power than the factory pioneer one. used this amp

sorry, i did the planet audio in the wifes hhr, this is the 5 channel we did in customers car...

 

I'm not too big on the kenwood subs, are there any other flat subs that would work?

 

Almost every manufacturer makes them now... I like Memphis:

I've always been more of an Alpine guy but that Memphis sub is tempting.
