It had a factory Infinity sub woofer but I wanted more bass so tried putting the a shallow mount Pioneer 8"

Turns out that factory amp is like 16-OHM  And only 23 watts,  So i got an amp.

Pick up a unused Scosche EFX 300c4 for cheap from a buddy.  20170412_153546_Film1.jpg.a758b35875d41cb070b3a2000b8da6fa.jpg

 

Got it installed, and almost directly blew out that Pioneer 8"(turns out they're not that well made),  And upgraded it to a 8" Rockford Fosgate P3.

And so then...

I figured if i have to have a box taking up space I might as well put in some 10" Kickers in a ported box.  Now I'm not much of a carpenter so I got a Sound Ordnance box.

 

Stay tuned to see the sloppy wiring I did for the back up camera.

I did 4 Rockford P2 10s ported in a older nitro with the grey plastic everywhere. On a Rockford T1500. Man that was an awesome setup. 

How are you liking the subs aimed to the front? Never worked well for me in an sub

I turned them around to today, and they sound a lot better then they did even at lower volume.  I was worried about damaging the cone so i had them up against the seat.  I'm stoked you said something.

If your worried about damage, just buy the kicker grills for them. Also I highly recommend a new box. Those prefab ported boxes are horrible compared to a proper designed and built box.
