so irrelevant question but how did you pull the plastic back part out? does it just pull off? or are their more bolts then the ones just visable?

Good questions. The entire plastic/storage stuff had to be pulled out. I pulled it out 4 years ago and still have it, but don't remember what was involved. I had to put the jack and stuff in the bed of my truck (I have a topper) so no big deal. I went to a larger full size jack anyway. The only thing I did was grid off about 8 screws poking through above the speaker box area so I could carpet it smooth.

I got the XTANT X1001 on the 3 Kicker 8's and the air movement is unreal. I was very underpowered with the smaller amps. This amp takes 0 gauge directly to the amp, its a beast. So with this extra air volume, once I put the seats back, it sealed up the front of the subs and stopped all air flow... and it sounded muddy/muffled.

What to do?

I removed the seat coverings and cut out the plastic backing that was blocking the sound/air to the subs. I then drilled a bunch of holes in the foam where the sub faces...

This solved everything. The subs hit so hard that I can't see out of my mirrors now.

when you added the third sub did you change the box?

christophertemple

Yes.. I did. I ended up putting a separator for each sub making the box exactly .33 cu/ft for each sub. Kicker recommended this for optimum performance and they were correct!


I also just added some Phoenix Gold 6.5 components in the front doors and oh man these suckers are awesome. $90 new to the door on woofersetc.com

Love these. They sound 100 times better than the Polk Momo's I had

Wow this box is great I have the cheap little plastic one that goes under the seat....Ill be doing this to my screw also

ok but were the measurments the same?? bcuz i took measurements and all just dont see how to get the third sub to fit and so you put a peice of wood to seperate each sub in seperate chambers then?

christophertemple

Are you speaking of the sub in the middle? It was a very tight fit. In fact.. I had to dremel out about 1/8" of wood in the back to make the sub clear. But it fits. Yes.. I cut a piece of wood to go inside the box and I sealed it with liquid nails all the way around to make the air chambers separate.
