Default I'm using the Bose sub amplifier. URL inside

Here's my install. I'm probably losing a little bit of connection to the substrate as I didn't want to epoxy direct to the floor so I improvised with a hunk of wood. The transducer is also 4 Ohms so I am only getting 1/2 the power from the Bose amp as the stock Bose 4 inchers are 4 Ohms ea wired in parallel =2 Ohms impedance(Power is Voltage squared/ Impedance). It's impressive even with 1/2 the power from the subwoofer amp. I may move the transducer to the floor under the driver's seat to see how it does. I got this free when I was with the Audio Amp company as SIT was going to use one of my Class D amp modules so I don't know what they cost.

Default Nicely done! I'm a big fan of "stealthy" mods. U using any digital media?

We've got Phatnoise players in both our cars. They are sweet. My brother had my car at his shop last for a few days, and commented about the "crazy" CD changer that kept jumping around to different types of music and never seemed to end.

Default Nice job!! Love Audax also, I've used their products in the past...

...when I finish my install, we'll have to have a mini "sound-off" G2G.
