JL subwoofer installed

Wanted a simple setup. This enclosure comes with a built in amp so it's pretty much plug and play. Sounds excellent with no rattles. Didn't even need to dynomat. For those who are interested ACS112LG-TW1. Went with the JL wiring as well.

The rubber trunk mat keeps it from moving.

where did you tap for power -- battery? What input tap did you use ... the feed to the rear deck speakers?

I wish I can answer that question. I had my shop install. Took less than 2 hours.

I hate that hump in the back of our trunks so much. I transferred a JL sub from my old car to my current car but I can't push the sub all the way to the back because of the hump so it kind of just sits in the middle of my trunk taking up a bunch of space. At least you don't have that problem :B

Without that hump it would be laying up. But had to put it on its back to maximize the trunk space. Yeah that hump sucks. I take it that you probably have a bigger box.

Do you have the JL high output box? (Looks like a large wedge with the sub recessed behind a circular cut out)? If so, I have the same situation/setup. It irks me! I spoke with a friend that designs systems and asked what we could design that would sound nearly as good... his response, "nothing"... so for now, I deal with the lost cargo capacity

This is the model, ACS112LG-TW1. JL engineers their boxes to put out max power from their subs. So as your friend mentioned it is difficult to reproduce with a custom box. There is enough trunk space for me so not much of an issue.

You lucked out! This is what I have eating up my cargo area....


Although mine is all grey. I had to remove the coat hanger from the deck lid but it barely slides in.... Pushes forward a decent way. I think I could actually re arrange a bit under the flooring and allow it to sit fully flush, but that isn't something I'm inclined to tackle. The sound from that box is incredible. I have always run w7's in the past but opted for a 12w6 this go around and have been perfectly content.

I'm sure the sound is amazing... A small sacrifice for a nice gain.
