well i was doing some diggin and found rca, power leads, and remote wires under my carpet,,,,so now i want to install a sub and amp. im lookin at a ROCKFORD FOSGATE SHALLOW 12 SUBWOOFER P3SD212, and a MEMPHIS PR 1.500 AMPLIFIER, what else am i going to need? im trying to find a good box??? i dont want the stealth box. is this goiing to be a good starting point?

 

why are you against the stealth box? I guess if not stealth to the flush mount box. what radio do you have, have you traced wires to other end to see if they are even hooked up

 

well i dont have th clips for my factory lid, so i was going to ditch that, unless i can find some? it still has the factory radio, i havent traced the rcs's, but i did find the fuse link (with the fuse out) hooked to the battery. i guess i need to find THE DEAL on a box? double D has stealth boxes, but no flush mounts. can you run the cover on with the sub?

i have a couple places i have been lookin for the clips/locks but havent heard back from anyone yet

 

25 more flush mount 12 inch boxes are on the way
hopefully next week.

i have the 12 inch stealth in stock.

 

Are you looking to get someone to build you something custom as far as the enclosure? If so, i'd go over to caraudio.com and get someone over there whom builds alot of boxes to make you something special. It will also be ALOT cheaper than what a local shop will do for you.

 

You can find plans for a DIY sub box made out of 3/4" MDF HERE

I just switched from a 10" Polk db1040 to a 12" shallow Pioneer. The shallow 12" sounds better to me than the 10" polk did, but I am pushing about 50% more power to it, and the box is square compared to the old fubar monster I made for the 10", so not sure if it's a fair comparison.

 

The Stealth box from Double D mods is awesome and I have one 10" that kicks me in the kidneys when the bass is turned up. I just installed it and three amps (two fosgates and a kenwood). You'll want to get the Fosgate RFK4x or RFK8x depending on the amp..I used 2 of the 4's and 1 of the 8. I have a p500-2 for the sub and a p400-2 for the front speakers. Anyway, definitely invest in that fosgate product...it comes with ALL the wires. Since you are only adding a sub, RUN NEW WIRES. The removal of the console and armrest takes 15 minutes and the radio removal takes about 2 minutes. This way you wont have any noise coming back through the radio. Again...I'm running 3 powerful amps and not one of them whine even a little.
Do it right the first time.
If I'm correct..your amp is a mono version at around 150 watts @ 4 ohm and approx 300 watts @ 2 ohm. It only goes down to 45 hertz with bass enhance on instead of 20 hertz. Oh well - you'll miss a little of the booming lows but it will still sound good.
If you need help..PM me and I'll walk you through the entire process.
I have a 99 vert so the install can be a little different on the coupe but not much. My stereo will knock the **** out of you.
Let me know if you need my help.
Regards

 

well I'm waiting on DD for my flush mount box, Amp's in the mail, got the Memphis pr1.500, just been looking at speakers? I'm thinking of running this amp @ 1 ohm off a 2 ohm sub?

and all the old wiring is coming out, I'm just taking it to a shop for wiring

 

uhhh run the amp at 1ohm off a 2 ohm sub, this makes no sense
