Did I buy the right things?
Hey there
I have a '13 2LT Vert and I bought the FARK kit, a JL 700/5 amp and wiring kit. Am I going to be able to hook this all up and just replace the existing amp to get some more power to the speakers? I read that the amp was the weak portion of the system and want to see if I can squeeze some more oomph out of it. Down the line I plan on replacing the stock speakers and throwing a sub in there, but I just want to see if what I have will currently work.. Thanks |

That should work, I got the same amp and fark kit. Did you get a sub? The sound is night and day when changing the amp and adding a sub.

Guess I should of read the whole thing. Definetly add a sub. HUGE difference.

I've got a 500W amp and 12" sub in a box that I had in my old car. I've toyed with the idea of putting that in but I'm concerned with space in the trunk of the vert.

I put a 10" sub with the ******** drivers side drop in box. Sounds good.

why not go ahead and get the speakers at the same time? I've never seen the point of putting a sub in a closed/ sealed trunk, all you can using hear is the trunk lid rattling. With a hatchback or under a seat they're great.

The convertible already has a 10 inch sub behind the seat.

Maybe, but why not just pull it out and replace it with one you like.

I'm thinking about that. When I take it to the shop tomorrow I'll see what they have price wise for 10s.

I just ordered the amp plate and the plate for the subwoofer to be installed behind the seat. Hoping for as stealth of an install as possible. Hopefully I can get the items by tomorrow. I tried calling ******** (and left a VM) to see if we can get the items flown down here for tomorrow, but I doubt it.
