Where to put my sub?

[DjJayFrree]

I want to add a sub to my Bose system. First off How do I know if I have a sub with my current system? Second where can I hide a sub? I need all my rear space!

I have been thinking of a way to build a small box within the rear quarter panel. Relocate the jack and spare tire tools. Much like they came stock in the older models.

If you have Bose, you have a sub underneath your cup holders.

If you want to add a sub, you can use a LOC and grab the wires from beneath the cup holder. There's options to remove that sub/box and replace it with an aftermarket one, there's a JL Audio box that goes in the rear window, or there's the custom route.

it doesn't sound like much of a sub LOL. What is an LOC?

Line Out Converter.

Changes the speaker wires to RCA's




If you replace your head unit with a decent head unit, it will actually make the stereo sound kinda decent... for what it is. It's a 6" or 6.5" woofer

so I could add a more powerful sub and put it where the current one is? the LOC will get it power?

I have an OBS 2 Door tahoe that I'm putting in a JL6w3. It's a nice 6.5" sub that hits good for being small. I'm keeping my OBS console except for the back 4" for the depth to accomidate the basket on the speaker. The soundstage is much better than in the back end of the truck (in my opinion). I used to bounce a 1st gen Kicker Solobaric 10" off the back glass but it was too visible and ended up getting stolen. I've tried to keep everything stealth since then. I'm not trying to enter any more IASCA competitions, just want to feel some kick drums. I have an old Kicker 8" L7 in my F150 extended cab console (think stealthbox but way cheaper) but it's too wide for the tahoe console. Those are sweet speakers. I have a ZR120 powering it (the JL in my 2 door Tahoe) with about 200 watts going to it. Hope this helps with ideas.

No. The LOC just changes the input to RCA's for an aftermarket amplifier.

This is the MTX box

you'd still need an amplifier somewhere

I will be building a custom box for stock rear location. It will be housing a JL AUDIO 8W7....stay tuned...

8w7 really?

Unless you don't get to use your cup holders anymore or you lose the space in your center console glove box, I don't see how that'll fit.
