[EliteGeeks]

Did you add a port to a sealed zen enclosure sir?

yes I ported it

Thanks mate, do you have a link on how to do this?

no link, just a standard install - I customized the box a bit

But would you not agree that having the sub in the cabin would make a better sound?

I have another car that has the sub in the rear parcel shelf and it sounds awesome!

OEM Audio + has a sub solution that sounds amazing. I was surprised on how it sounded. Did not sound like an 8" more like a 12". Seat up or down

Funny.

I have oem audio + in my Scion (like 12 speaker set up) or something like that.

Also had the 8 inch sub enclosure. I rocked it for years til I found a open box JL sub for like 299, I wired that in (10w3 with 500 watts) omg. It was amazing, gave away the 8 inch sub to another tC owner, very clean sounding set up though if they have a mustang speaker set up.

But, I vowed I’d only own JL Stealthbox after, having owned both. No comparison, but pricy.

Found my JL box for 450 on this site off a member vs 850 retail.

I upgraded the rear deck speakers installed the LC2i and an amp, did some adjusting and now my rear deck speakers can fill the car with music. I also replaced the rear sub and added polyfill to the enclosure.

Somewhat off topic, but can anyone tell me the part number or name (or anything that may help me find it) of the clip/nut the rear speakers screw into? Close up in the 2nd pic. I managed to break the little bastard while installing and having a hell of a time figuring out what part that is.

Maybe this;

I can't find actual pictures to confirm, though.

I was able to find fitting replacements at a hardware store, too.

What amazes me is that I just recently hired a Hyundai i30, this is a sub $20k Korean built car with a 4 speaker sound system, no amp, no sub and it blows my 9 speaker Mustang system out of the water for bass, volume and clarity.

Just use forescan disable factory eq, and add a sub. Mine is a monster now.

Can I use Forscan lite and a wifi dongle to disable the eq?

 

[FreedomPenguin]

no ideaaa. I used a 29 dollar dongle and pc, you have to download a program and register it, free but takes a couple minutes.

then you change one code, find other codes you want to put in too, theres a lot of cool things you can change while you are in there. I need to turn it back on soon I want 5-6 flashes when I tap turn signal. 3 is annoying, seems like I have to push it twice before I make a lane change often.

Does anyone know if I upgraded to a JL stealthbox if you can use the factory sub harness to feed signal to it. Or do you still have to tap the right rear speaker with the lc2i. Is there a wiring diagram? Thanks

This subject has been covered many times in depth. Do a search for sub upgrade.

Tap the oem sub signal at the factory amplifier, run that to aftermarket amp.

Has anyone just replaced the rear 6.5" speakers with factory front 6.5" speakers?
