2021 Basic sound system upgrade thread
This is the route I went with, Kicker finally released a shallow L7, it fits perfectly. There is about 1" between the seat and sub when the seat is down, I'm ordering a grill for it just in case it can slap the seat under heavy load.
My only gripe is the terminals are facing the door, its not a huge issue a small piece of black tape can't fix.

Beautiful install. Looking to do similar did you get that box for your sub customized to fit like that or did it come like that? Is there something I can purchase prefabricated like that from JL? Just looking for a clean install like this to fit behind the seat thanks.
I used this converter. It has a remote on power on it. It does make a simple clean install, but the remote on stayed on longer than I liked. I’m sure it wouldn’t cause a problem, but from all the battery draining threads going on with these trucks, I didn’t want to risk it so I just used the speaker lines and ran dedicated power lines instead of the ones it supplies, but it does work as intended. It just keeps power on the amp for a minute or maybe more after shutting off the truck tho.
I wanted something simple so I tapped the rear speakers on each pillar and went straight to my powered sub. I’m using a Rockville 10 and it fits behind the seat. It thumps for what it cost however it goes into protect mode once I turn it over half volume. Any idea what it might be?

Curious to which Model you have that was able to fit behind the seat. As far as protect mode what amp are you using, have you tried lowering your gain settings? Also why not use a line output from the head stereo to power everything instead of using those pillar lines in the rear.
its a combo and good for roughly 200w
it has auto turn on and off based on high inputs.
that’s why I just skipped the line out and used speaker taps. Less wiring and great for a beginner.
