i basically "found" this sub at our old house. we were renting it out to these people and they trashed the place so long story short we evicted them and they left this sub. its a 12" jl audio 12WØ-12. does anybody have any info on these and what is a complete list of everything i would need to get this thing in my truck? i already have a box in mind so dont worry about that.



thanks in advanced for the help.

 

since you have the box u just need speaker wire, amp wiring kit, and a amp =) i had some 10 w0s and they beat pretty good sure the 12 will be good too =)

 

i dont have the box but i know what im gonna build. im a total noob when it comes to any type of wiring or speakers or anything electrical. anybody got a step-by-step how-to on how to do all this? lol. also whats a good amp that isnt gonna cost me a fortune?
i need links people!

 

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp can help u wire the sub in the box you build

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/box_wizard.asp can also help u find out the internal air space

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1170289781245 rockford fosgate amp ftw! i got 300.2 channel but that mono would work just fine never had a problem

http://www.ehow.com/how_2247794_wire...paign=yssp_art helps a little bit to wire the amp up but its pretty much easy run power wire to battery making sure to have a correct size fuse within 18 inches from battery... ground wire to ground remote wire to radio... rcas to radio eassy 8 gauge kit should be good for your system

 

ok. hopefully this will help. thanks

 

ok... im low on cash so i dont really need expensive ****. just need something that will make it all work.. so is this a good enough amp?

and can i run all this with the factory head unit? if not im kinda screwed and this project will have to be put off for a while.

 

http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/10_12_15W0_MAN.pdf check that out, and that amp would power it. . 125w for optium performance personally i'd go with a mono block amp, wiring is fine and you cant realli run it with a factory head unit. . .u need an aftermarket one with pre outs

 

amp kit is pretty decent the speaker wire is alright but hmm its called walmart lol they have all that your not gonna be like comps or nothin so it would do the amp hock never heard much about the Blaupunkt's so i cant tell you yes or no stock radio yes it could be ran need to install a line out adapter though to the radio like this http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a...html?iorb=4764 check local audio stores though they should have something decent hopefuly they wont rip u off

 

yea heres what all i picked out...
http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/viewcart.asp
should be all i need.. if im missing something let me know.

 

its gonan sound like crap commin from a factory radio. . .trust me, your better off getting an aftermarket headunit for 100 bucks with a preout and doing it that way but again to each his own

 

yeah chevy is some what right it wont sound the same as like a aftermarket radio but i have factory pioneer 6 disc with the out converter connected to the factory amp my kicker cvr 12 beats crazy no one can belive its just 1 and im like yeah its factory radio haha

 

did you guys look at my shopping cart from crutchfeild?

will this head unit work?

 

yea that one will work

 

that sub will hit man im running two of these at 300 watts a piece and they shake my truck.

 

^^ you got a pic of your set-up?

 

IMHO save up and get good quality stuff. Dual headunits aren't that great, no reason to have a nice sub powered by bad equipment.

 

^^ yea. idk.. i really just wanna get this thing in there and then later on down the road when i save up some more money get better equipment.

 

thats a good way to spend way more than you would just getting the 'good' stuff to begin with. Not a vital part to driving the truck, save up and get the good stuff the first time, i never spend money on 'planned to be upgraded' parts. not cost effective when buying things new...used/cheap? maybe..

 

honestly, I have a dual deck and had a pioneer....I like my dual better and now its runnin a 10" and amp and I love it....

 

got any pics? i dont even know if im gonna be able to do this. the truck is in my grandfathers name and i was told by him that there was to be no mods to the truck "not while im still around" so hopefully i can convince him of letting me do this.
