Bass setup on factory system

[Michael Perez]

Finally got my JL 10w0v3 installed in a sealed box powered by an Alpine MRV 500 watt amp.

Bass level control. I'm stoked about the location!

looks like a clean install and placement for the knob

I swear the pictures are upright when I post them on my phone

 

[Michael Perez]

Has anyone gotten their 9th gen trunk to not rattle??

Looks clean. You did the install? Is your box mounted to keep it from rolling around the trunk?

I just put done foam insulation strips behind my license plate an all the rattling was gone.

I didn't do the install but they did do a good job. I have the box sideways because the sub rattles within the box when it is upright it's odd but I'll fix it. But my main concern is the rattling of my wing on the trunk I think that's the problem. What did you use? Dynamat?

No, I didn't use anything other than foam insulation behind my license plate. I don't have rattles coming from anywhere else.

Ill stuff it in between the gaps on the lid hopefully that helps

Really like your set up. I don't have any space left there to put a knob.

Thanks! What switches do you have?

Fog lights, traction control and ambient lights.

You have any problems with the sub sliding @Michael Perez ?

 

[Michael Perez]

@ADExternal the box stays in place with the rubber floor mat. But I still have problems with the entire trunk rattling, it's rather annoying I have stopped the license plate from moving but now the source is at the latch of the truck. When I press down under the license plate it stops rattling.

Any ideas? I kinda wanna stay away from $$$ Dynamat

If its just the license plate, you can use rubber foots behind the plates called Bumpons.

[Michael Perez]

I lined the edges with weather stripping and screwed it in place so it's impossible for it to touch the truck now. I'm thinking I'm going to insulate by the latch with quick roof from Home Depot after researching they say it's better than peal n seal with a lot less smell

 

[Michael Perez]

There is also a duct insulation called Frost King that several people has used

[Michael Perez]

I have eliminated about 85% of the rattling. The only thing that's left is to isolate the wing from the trunk lid somehow. How do I go about removing the Si wing ??

 

[roddizzle12]

looks good man, question for you. Where did you hook up your rca cables?

 

[Michael Perez]

@roddizzle12 A full range channel was taken from behind the radio and connected to the high level inputs on the amp. I didn't use a LOC it's essentially the same thing. But I recommend using an LOC to tap the rear sub channel and call it a day.

LOC=Line Output Converter
It cleans the sound coming from the factory amp in order for it to be revamped (in a way) by the aftermarket amp.

I also managed to remove the factory sub in the rear deck today. Those clips are a pain it took just over an hour but I managed not to break any thank god!
