Hi,

I kept the stock C7 stereo system and with the help of a controller I have a nice stealth install with Alpine PDX amps, after market speakers and a JL 8" shallow mount sub in the stock C7 sub box. The system sounds great. I had a problem with the Audison controller (blinking on and off) and had to pull out everything to check connections, etc. I was thinking of selling the JL shallow mount sub and installing a JBL 10" sub. The sub fits nicely in a perfect 12" cube. It looks like it might just fit. Because the box is a bit oversized I have the luxury of removing 1" from the box (table saw and glue) to get it to fit if I had too. I was wondering if anyone has tried to do the same thing and if it fit without any problem?

how did the shallow mount sub interface with the bose system? did it sound better?

I added a sub amp and amps for the door speakers. It sounds very good. I would like to get a sealed sub. The stock sub box is vented which is loud enough but never sounds as good as a sealed. imho.

I'm just looking at upgrading the stock stereo a bit. What did you use for door speakers? Did you try just hooking up an amp to the stock speakers or are the ohms not right?

doesnt any vendor sell a shallow woofer with a custom fiberglass box?

So you randomly installed a new sub into the Bose enclosure? For best sound, the enclosure and speaker characteristics need to be designed to work together.
