I have a JL Audio HD110W6 powered by a JL Audio XD600.1v2. I am considering removing the factor sub (its disconnected right now) to all for more airflow into the passenger cabin. I am wondering if anyone with aftermarket subs has done this. How was the sound? .

I put sound deadening material on the underside of the deck but I am still getting some rattles from back deck

It will most likely sound better with the sub facing the rear bumper. You should try it.

I will try that setup. I just removed the factory 10" sub and sound deadened the rear deck (Top and bottom) plus the trunk. It made a huge difference in bass quality even with the subk firing sideways. Thanks for the suggestion.

There is a 4 AWG for + and -. The amp is rated at 600W at 2 ohms (which is what the impedance of the sub is)

Hi guys, got a noob question.
The amp I have only takes RCA cables. I bought a high-low converter, but it has two positive and two negative leads. All the YouTube videos I saw didn't have a subwoofer and they tapped the +/- on right and left rear speakers.

So do I just tap both positive leads (R and left) to one terminal and negative to the other on the factory sub? Or just tap left and right rear speakers?

what is the make and model of the line level converter?

I finally was able to work it out today!


So, I tapped the wires to the amp. (Blue and Green, pins 6 and 21). From there, I ran the wires to the trunk. In the trunk, I attached the LOC. I tried a couple of different ways because the LOC splits off to Left and Right RCAs. The first way I tried was just hooking positive and negative to one side (Right side). That worked fine.and didn't have any issues. Then, I wired both left and right to the positive and negative. First it turned off the sub, so I flipped it and it's a little louder than just using one side and sounds a bit more deep. I figured if this wasn't right I could just unplug one of the RCAs.

Thanks everyone for their help!!

Some really clean looking installs here. Any issues getting past the B-Pillar? I screwed up the seat belt tension in my last car when I ran the power wire I'd really like to avoid that this time.
