Will this Sub Fit?

[Matthewstorm]

Looking at the JL Audio Sub. Anyone install this or know if it'll fit?
Thanks!

Depends on the enclosure, which you didn't specify.

If that’s a shallow mount sub it should fit, but before you swap it out, try adding an aftermarket amp and a DSP to it. You might be surprised by the sound quality. Of course you will have to be mindful of how loud you play it, so that it will live. I put a JL Audio 300W mono amp on the factory sub in my ‘13 GT and it sounded really good.

That's an idea. And the 300 isn't that expensive. Thanks.

When I did this mod, I removed the factory sub, installed new 12 gauge speaker wire and drilled a small hole to feed the speaker wire through the enclosure. I also added polyfill (supposed to manipulate the sound waves to make the sub think the enclosure is bigger) and then reinstalled the sub and connected it to my JL Audio amp. Bass was nice and tight for several hours of playing and then suddenly one day the sub was finally broken in and the bass got much lower and deeper and sounded even better. Great mod to do on the cheap with minimal effort.

Did the amp just plug n play with the oem setup or did you need to make Modifications?

Not plug and play, but very easy to set up. The factory sub in my ‘13 GT was a DVC sub, so I wired it back up as such, but with new speaker wire and drilled the very small hole in the enclosure to pass the new speaker wire through and then connected it to the amp. There are many ways of adding aftermarket amps to the B&O or 9 speaker systems, but I used a PacAudio AmpPro4 fd-21 amp interface to retain all of my factory steering wheel controls. I also added the optional Toslink port and used a fiber optic cable to send the speaker signals back to my aftermarket Digital Sound Processor instead of running three sets of RCA cables, although the AmpPro allows you to run either or.

What DSP? You just mentioned the XD600?
Thanks!

AudioControl DM-608 processor.

 

[Matthewstorm]

Ah, thnx.

AudioControl DM-608 processor.

So, you installed the DM 608 and XD600 just for the Sub?

No. If I said XD600 that was a mistake on my part. I used the XD300 in my 13 GT and an older Audio Control DQX-61 sound processor. In my Bullitt, I have the Audio Control micro amps; 1.300 on the sub and 4.300 on mid bass and tweets. The pic may be a little misleading because both amps are underneath a single cover which makes them look like one amp. The cover is stamped 5.600 to signify a combined total of 5 channels between the two amps, as well as a combined output of 600W.

Man, sorry, you were speaking Irish there. Didn't understand a thing.
What would you recommend for just swapping out some speakers and sub in my B&O system? Thanks.

Here’s what I recommend and that is just based on my personal experience with these components.

AmpPro4 fd-21 interface
Toslink adapter for amp pro
19’ long fiber optic cable
AudioControl DM-608 sound processor
AudioControl 1.300 amp for your factory sub
Hertz DSK 165 speaker set (mid bass and tweets)

You can just install the Hertz mid bass speakers in the door and run them on the factory B&O amp and they’ll sound great like that. Not sure about running the Hertz tweets on the factory B&O amp though because I run mine on a separate amp. It’s worth trying if you’re on a budget though. Everything I listed will run you about $1400, minus an amp wiring kit and other miscellaneous wiring accessories such as the RCA cables that will run from your sound processor to your amp.

Crutchfield says the AmPro4 will not fit the 2021.
