I made a quick cardboard template and it looks like a perfect fit!

I went with the little 10" Pioneer and it has plenty of kick for a car this small inside. I just put it in the back because I don't use the hatch anyways and it fit right under the cargo cover.

I like that space behind the seats for an Amp-Rack, but I dunno about a sub, it just seems like its only vibrating the back of your seat and is baffling the sound waves... :ugh2:

For instance, I have 2 Kicker S10L7's in my trunk in a Zenclosures Upfire box between the rear bar and strut domes. It was more of I had 2 subs from my previous vehicle, might as well use both instead of 1 and a paperweight more than the car Needing that much bass.

As for the hating on Kicker, not sure why, these things sound amazing and I've never really even turned them up. (Not that there is much need to in this tiny space) :icon17:

Right now the limiting factor is the stock fronts. I plan on upgrading them to a kicker component set, but my problem right now is I do plan on "one day" gutting the interior and removing everything unessential to make it full up race car. However I have no idea when that "one day" will be. So to get them and go through the trouble of installing them right now, and enjoying them until that day, or not bothering since eventually they'll be removed. :confused:

If anyone knows of someone looking to sell a Single 10" Square hole upfire Zenclosures box, I would be really interested in that sale/trade.

Do you have the cover extended while driving/using it? Wonder if it makes the cover wobble during the good drops... :icon17:

Any Pictures of it yet?

If i was to install one of these in the trunk, what would be the best way to secure it?

Cheers

Actually this is a downfire sub so no it's not rippling the cover or anything, but with the rear view mirror dancing around it looks like the rear window is gonna pop out! LOL. :bowrofl:

That really looks like an ideal sub for the Z.

Forgive me for not understanding the details of car audio, but do you also have to have a amplifier installed in the car somewhere to drive the sub, or is there a sub output on the back of the stock Nav/Audio unit? Thanks.

Hi Guys,

After a bid of advice.

What would be the best place to install a CP108LG-W3v3 and the best way to secure it?

Cheers

I added an Alpine amp to drive the sub and tapped off the stock sub, through a line output converter (Audio Control LC2i). It's a bit of work to install it all but it was worth it. I would like to replace all the stock speakers some day but for now this was a good compromise to "wake up" the stock Bose system and still retain my Nav etc.
Also as a side note, I use an ipod loaded with uncompressed CD rips for a source. It seems the Bose only gets worse with SQ from other sources. The music box hard drive was a big disappointment in my opinion, with compression down to 192 kps not helping.

I'd flip that bad boy over for the giggles to see if it did anything cool :icon17:
