I'm getting the single 10inch and the amp for mine, but I'm not sure about how to connect it to the amp.
They used a $39 speaker level inputs.

Hope this helps.

Some amps can accept speaker level inputs, most can't. Best way to get signal to an amp is via a line out converter. If you have the stock sub you can just use those wires, but if not you need to tap into the front sub wires.

If you're only installing a sub, any 2-channel converter is fine, but if replacing all speakers then something like the Audio Control LC7i will combine all of the stock speaker signals into one full spectrum line level signal.

I just picked it up. JL had to make the box and it took over a week longer to ship.
I'm not super thrilled with it yet. It isn't very stealthy and the sound is good but I'm not sure it's worth the money yet. I'll report back later this week.

i do not like that box at all. the vettenuts box looks a lot better. I'm with you, if its ugly it better perform, if not it better look really good, sacrifice 1 for the other but not both

It looks like it has an erection.

Wow, I think I'd be disappointed with that too. Hopefully you can get it dialed in so the sound makes up for it. The color looks terrible, is it just the photo, or is it a miss?

Not what I would do. It takes up too much cargo space and you lose the use of the cubby. Isn't there a space below the cargo area for a subwoofer?

I had one of these in my old 98 Z28. It took up almost no space and looked good. Sounded ok.
