8 Attachment(s)
I just had a new nav unit and subs installed today.
Just wanted to share some pics with fellow forum members. :hello:

Head Unit : Clarion NX500 (Navi unit) purchased from Amazon.
Subs: 2 10" JL W3
Enclosure: Zenclosures (Not 100% satisfied as it had minor damages)
Amp: Rockford Fosgate Punch 500w 2ch (located snugly behind pass. seat)
iPhone 4 : Connected thru CLARION CCA748 iPod Audio Control/Video Playback Interface Cable (works flawlessly, Bluetooth, Music, Videos, movies...etc) :tup:

***Update: My old JL w3s blew (literally)...New W3V3s installed. Don't mean to brag but it sounds awesome. :icon17:

What sort of damage to the Zenclosure? I am waiting for mine to show up anyday now, those couriers don't give a hoot about our stuff.

Tons of room for two amps.

JayYoon 08-29-2010 08:02 PM

so is this below the enclosure? or right behind? idk how the enclosure looks like...

Juleous 08-29-2010 08:47 PM

That is right under the Zenclosure, you can see the brace bar in the pic. Remove the large foam block down there and you got lots of room. I glued down some 2x2 pieces to the car body, then screwed my amp rack to that. Now I can mount anything I want to that with out drilling any holes in the car.

Damages are minimal, but still...it's an eyesore.

Here's my amp location behind the pass. seat. The amp is attached to a wooden board located underneath the carpet.

That sucks on the damage, is the carpet torn? Looks like it needs to be wrapped again, should get some better material IMO.

Some bad news... it seems that I somehow managed to rip one of the W3 sub. I guess I was bumping too loud?? :)

Now since JL doesn't make the same W3s (mine's the older version that I bought 8 years ago) anymore it appears that I have to purchase two new subs. I've read that it's not ideal to use two different type of subs in a single enclosure.

It looks as tho I'll be out hundreds of dollars to buy brand new subs. I wanted to clearbra my car next but it seems the money is going elsewhere.

Does anyone know of a way to avoid buying two new subs?? Anyone??
