Finally got all the parts i needed, and installed my sub/amp the other night. The amp is a Diamond Audio D3 800.1 mono block amp, 610watts rms @ 2ohm. The sub is a 10" Kicker L7 in a small sealed box. I used a Kicker 4GA amp wiring kit, which was excellent quality! Used a PAC Trunk-LOC line output converter, and Monster Cable M1000i RCA's.

Results: Extemely happy with the sound! Hits hard and tight, no dimming lights or anything like that. Fit was perfect. Here are a couple pics.. also put in my JoeZ pipe at the same time

Clean set-up

how does it sounds in general your system? don't you feel that the rest of the speakers are lacking some power to go together @ the same level with your sub? Just wondering.....kind of want to do the same but not sure about the speakers.....and I do not want to change them....TOO MANY!

Thanks and congratz on your set-up!

It actually sound very nice all together. I have the ML setup, so the system was already pretty awesome. I just felt that it lacked deep bass. With this new sub, everything seems to be filled out nicely. I am happy with the system now, and dont plan on changing out any other speakers.

Ill try to make it out to a get together sometime If not, you know where i work, maybe you can swing by some day if im not busy



Thanks to you all who commented Im really happy with the car now. Audio is the one thing that HAS to be perfect in every car i drive..

thats the exact same sub i got but my box is a ported pre-fab made by Kicker. i bet money it will sound louder in a ported box

is that how you have the sub facing now?

Yea, the sub is still facing the same direction. I had it rear facing at first, and it seems to give me the best sound. I wouldnt want a ported box, sealed gives a tighter stronger bass. I didnt want something that was boomy. Its pretty awesome, cause at full crank, you can barely hear the sub from outside the car, but it sounds insane inside. Exactly what i was going for

Are you afraid that any of the Stock speakers might get blown up?

I want to get a sub/amp but i dont really want to risk the warranty

Theres no reason why the stock speakers would blow But im sure the dealership wouldnt look kindly on the fact that the line output converter taps into the wires coming from the stock amp. Even though i dont think it could be linked to its failure if it ever failed... it'd be a hassle.

SpaceCadet

explain how that would happen?

I dont know? Overpowering it?


I got no knowledge about sound systems, All i know is i want one

the aftermarket amp is not powering the factory speakers, its just for the sub. no need to worry mate...just do it!
