Thanks for the additional info.

You are correct, I did the same thing with my AudioControl LC6.

New HiFonics Brutus 1700 amp.

New amp installed. You gots to watch how tight the amp is under the support brace, leave as much room as possible when mounting an amp rack here.

The new Zenclosure with the new 10" Alpine Type R subs. This thing pounds so hard, Bose has got some Lows now!

Great install easy to do, I highly recommend the Sub upgrade to the factory Bose setup. Now I don't totally hate the Blows.

I think when I upgrade the front system I will move the HiFonics to behind the seat, it looks so nice and when the logo lights up it's very cool especially at night. I will put all my other components under the sub enclosure, the Brutus is a little big for under there anyway.

Juleous · 09-03-2010, 04:26 PM

After some tunning the subs sounds great, punch really really hard. But not two 12" like I used to have, I want more BASS.

Oh well I will have to be happy with two 10" for now, I will be upgrading the rest of the system ASAP as the rest of the system sound is not up to standard.

Courious why you didn't go with shallow subs and have a lower box...like mine i guess? i'm building anew one to hold 2 of our 10's over the winter, or even do a 12 vented?

Oh and if you swap out the HU you may be able to fit both amps under there.

I went with a Zenclosure as recommended on this site, it's an easy option which I was looking for. When I change the HU out I will have a bunch more room back there but I am going to put in an Audio Control DQS with a DDC control so I can tweek from the drivers seat. The HiFonics would be better served behind the drivers seat, plus it looks way cool at night.

Undecided I may just keep the Brutus there, and just make room for the other amp and the eq. The sub box is ok for now, I think I am going to redo the whole system and go with a much more custom system. Like no spare tire remove all that crap build something up real nice, false floor plexi panels and the sort. Maybe if I feel like doing that style of system again, not sure that's a ton of work for just show and I am not really into that anymore.

OK, cool. just wondering, so many people seem to go with that box, and to me it just looks big, i like the other one better, the one that goes in the spare tire area on top of the spare.

I sort of regret buying it, I could have built a much better enclosure my self but I was being lazy. The CAS does not have enough thump for my tastes, I am even thinking about how do I get two twelves in the Z.

That is the one problem i'm having also, my last car i had room to do what ever i wanted, hell i had 4 of our square 12's vented in the back seat! with about 3000watts running them. but now i'm at a single 12, which for most would be enough, but once you've had a CRAZY Bass, it's hard to go back to "Normal" bass.

2 12's, depend what you want to give up space wise, i had a buddy do 4-15's in a CRX way back in da day, still had a spare tire! I have to keep my spare, caught too many times with out on the hwy, and for my job thats not fun!

90 ST · 09-04-2010, 02:29 AM

I'm pretty sure i know how to get 2 12's in, AND keep your spare tire...

Really? Remove the foam blocks on the left and right place the subs there, build up a false floor place the amps towards the front of the hatch? That was what I was thinking, what you got up your sleave?

I don't want the weight to get out of control though, but I do love my BASS

90 ST · 09-04-2010, 02:46 AM

No, i was thinking once you change out the HU and don't have to put any thing in that tub, you could use that as part of the air space and the rest above it with the subs inverted, and in a wide V shape, the amps could go behind the seat, if you go right down to the floor you should be able to still move the seats all the way back. And since most of the box would be'glass the wieght wouldn't be too bad.

Oooh I like the way you think, that would look awesome. Not quite the stealthy look, but very good idea.

90 ST · 09-04-2010, 03:28 AM

LOL, yeah 2 12's in a Z and stealthy, you'll have to pick 1.
