I just ordered an RF Punch P3SD2-8 sub to swap into my existing Shaker Pro sub enclosure. My initial plan was to have a custom fab enclosure built for my Orion XTR 12" sub and Kenwood amp, but the prospects of finding anything remotely small enough not to wipe out a majority of my limited convertible trunk space were pretty low.
That being said, I've decided to accept the lack of 12" sub depth/power and work with the factory system as best as I can. I'm replacing the front 6.5's with Powerbass components and the 3.5's with Infinity Reference 3022cfx's, while retaining the stock amp. I may either swap the tweeters with the PB supplied ones using inline bass blockers (vs the supplied crossovers) or simply disconnect the tweeters altogether since the Infinity ones are coaxials.
That being said, I am curious if anyone has any experience doing a direct swap for the Shaker Pro sub amp itself. I don't mean routing from something in the trunk or spare tire area, but actually swapping in a mini amp in the existing location and reusing the factory wiring without running new power lines. I saw some very low profile mono amps online and there seems to be quite a few options that look like they may get the job done. I simply want to maximize the output of the Punch sub without giving up any space in the trunk.
Ideas?
