Today I found out that the JL Marine sub grill will come off, so it will make it a little bit shorter. That is what I am planning to get, so if you try it, please let me know what you think! It will be awhile before I get mine because I am still at 3100 status on my order (TPW 8/15). If the JL Marine sub doesn't work, probably nothing will except what Steve posted above.

Good to know thorr, ill let you know how the jl marine sub works, I tried a kenwood marine sub that supposedly can be ran free air or small enclosure and surprisingly the factory sub sounded better than a lot of subs cause its rated free air with the qts...Nucorman has a G3 sub in his car and he said it sounds great in the factory enclosure thats what i plan on putting in on Tuesday as soon as it arrives... my next project is to get one of steves stealth enclosures and throw a jl w7 in it, and hope steve finds a way to put some bigger component speakers in the rear of the car without having to cut the panels larger... I was very surprised how replacing the factory amp really makes a huge difference, glad i bought steves FARK kit before he ran out, Steve makes good products, all the ******** stuff i ordered works great, the mounts steve makes for the front speakers work great i ran some jl c3's and they sound very clean... I highly recommend the xd 700/5 channel amp to power everything im just curious if all the subs sounded crappy in the factory location cause i have 300 watts running to them?

Good to know about the G3. Are you planning to try the JL also and pick your favorite between the two?
Also, the XD700/5 is 300 Watts at 2 ohms, but 180 Watts at 4 ohms. It seems to be a great match for the JL Marine sub. The G3 is rated at 4 ohms and handles 375 Watts, so it may be underpowered. Are you going with the single or dual? For the fronts, did you replace the tweeters as well? How did they fit? |
