omg...im .....so...confused lol, i really need to know what all do i need to buy for a good setup, so yes, help is much needed, anyways, i plan on getting a solo x since the 12w7 wouldn't fit in the ported box from sub thump, so with that being said, just to run a sub, i know i need a box, i know i need an amp (how many channels..mono or multiple?) would i need to buy the new frack harness from sub thump, and hell, whatever else i need, please let me know, i intend on buying it all within the week since its about to be my xmas gift to my self and this BA system is just..well....dog shit :( any and all help is needed since I'm new to this and once again, thank you

Do you want to replace the entire BA system or just add a subwoofer to the existing system?

call ******** and talk to them, he can set you up, or at least get you headed down the road.

I'm not sure ******** has any of the FARK's left. They seem to go pretty quick. If he has them, I'd order one of those A.S.A.P.

Getting the factory amp out helps A LOT. If you do the FARK, you will need a good multi-channel amp (and possibly a second mono amp for the sub, depending on the multi-chan amp you go with).

What kind of budget are you working with? There are some amazing deals to be had this time of year.

Its a good problem to have when your looking at upgrading.

budget docent matter, for now i just want to throw a sub in the trunk so this TM103 won't sound terrible....and I'm getting a fark as we speak just to hold on to it....

If a JL W7 wont fit, I dont think a Solo X is will either. Their box requirements are pretty hefty also. I dont have any Kicker manuals at the shop but you might want to look it up.

shit! so I'm basically stuck with sealed :(?

Steve@Subthump · 12-24-2011, 02:14 PM

I could probably make a solo x work. Have to check a few things but if I remember right, they are not nearly as deep as the w7.

DraggnFrameGMC · 12-24-2011, 11:14 PM

Its not so much the depth that will get you. You need at least 2.25 minimum ported, but ive never got a Solo X sounding decent until about 3.5 ported. It can be done though because theres about 5 cubic feet of space to use and not give up the entire trunk. Next problem youre gonna face though is power. X's take a RMS of 2500 watts which means you'll need to at least upgrade your battery if not add one to it.

thats fine with me, ill upgrade the battery, idc
