the fact you put a single sub in the bed of your pickup that's not even connected to your cab is hilarious. I can't believe this. lol thank you

Bro.... My guy. I promise you I'm not trying to be an ass but... 1. Take all of that back except the amp. You can keep that. Looks like monoblock and Alpine is good quality. 2. Disconnect the power wire. Fuse it. Before the amp. Or run a fused distribution block. 3. Google the following: Insert year make and model of the vehicle and add under seat box at the end. 4. Pick a box that matches and is either sealed or tuned somewhere in the 30's. Hey the net cubic feet and how many subs it fits. 5. Find matching subs that add up to the total net cubic feet of the box and the RMS rating of the amp. 6. If you decide to go your own way no worries. But fuse that power wire behind the seat somewhere. Only you can prevent forest fires. Real advice with a little tongue in cheek, The Original Wis

I have the JL CP106LG-3WV3 6.5" powered by Alpine mono amp 150W @ 4 Ohms D-class in the back seat of my Cayman sports car. I agree that this little ported box hits hard & clean quality music. Planning to add one more for driver back seat.

Great music! Informative video.

I’d recommend looking at the TW3 12 loaded enclosure for under your seat or the TW5 13.5 loaded enclosure for under the seat as well to experiment with.

Has anyone put 4 of the 10 inch JL audio w0v3 subs under a seat with a 3.5 inch seat lift?

I have used my JL Audio 500/1 for 20yrs. in multiple systems always using a JL 10W3v3 that REALLY does work!#JLAudio🔊❤️

LMI welding has 2.5 inch back seat move forward set ups and also 2.5 and 3.5 seat lifts

This is funny. I had the same thinking as you a while back. I had one 15, two 10s, and three 8s, along with a 6.5 sub in each door. I thought for sure I would get all frequency of bass. I was wrong, they were right. Frequencies start canceling each other out. Sold it all and just picked up 2 matching 15s. So much louder when the 2 subs are working together

If it was me, I would definitely go with JL, audio speakers. The size is completely up to you! If you’re trying to have a a subwoofer with good bass inside of the car for your own pleasure, I think the 6 1/2 would provide all that for you. Or if you turn it up very loud, even that 6 1/2 punches loud enough to be heard outside of the car. But having some type of a subwoofer, definitely helps the audio experience inside of the car.

If you want good bass you can get either 6 Ct sounds meso 6.5 with no seat lift or 4 Ct sound meso 8 inch with a 2.5 inch seat lift. Then go to sounds good stereo and get a custom made amp rack for behind the back seat: get a 3000 watt sundown audio SIA amp. It’s way better, cheaper and you will have 20x more bass then your set up you want to do: you will be at 140 DB or more. If you need any help let me know.

Leave the aid alone don’t worry about The 6 inch sub find the one that is factory replace that with the Rockford because it’s preamp go and change the crossover that is connected to sub in the cabinet not to jl and find The levels and then listen and then cut on that Jl If you can hear it over that rock for Fosgate there you go you got it

Trade the 8 inch powered micro+ for the 12inch and I promise you will not need anything else. I had one in my vw Eos hardtop convertible and it was insane!!!. I'm about to put that 6.5 box in my tour pack on my harley ;)

Just buy a pre fab box made for you vehicle and some decent subsa with 1000 watt amplifier easy sound will be amazing

Sounds like an expensive lesson. Depending on how much volume you want, two 8's or two 10's in a truck box built to fit under the back seat would sound great. I bought two Rockville K6 10's, a Rockville DB15 1000 watt RMS Class D two channel Amp and I hand built the box. It was for my 2014 GMV Sierra 4 door. It was one of the best sound systems I ever had and it was cheap as fuck.

Sorry for the late response. All of the boxes were reported, except for the factory box from the Sony Ford upgrade. All the other speakers are imported boxes.

Maybe get a 500 watt amp and get the dual version of that 8” jl micro sub

just go sealed(with appropriate box and driver) instead. you are trading less bass volume for better sound

1 you don’t want to mix sub sizes as each has its design. 2 you want sub facing away from you as sub is more resonance than directional. What I do in a supercrew is use a pair 12’s in ported box facing to the rear of the cab. I’ve tried all directions over the decades and it matters. I choose to only use 1/3 seat but I can remove my box as I use connectors to it. 3. You don’t want a 15 in the bed like that as all you will get is rattling outside in the box and 0 inside… trust me I have tried this a few ways and it’s a fail always.

Basically you want awesome sound. 3 options. 36” long box behind the driver seat facing subs back. 12 are punchy and 15’s are an option or 3 or 4 10’s are an option. Next option is a pass though from bed but you loose half bed permanently. Or 3 rd option is a wall and loose all back seat. The first is what I do. I have plugs on my box behind my seat so if I do need to haul 4/5 people I can disconnect my sub box and slam it in the bed for the trip or leave it home. I also have a small slim 2 10 box I can slip in and still have my passenger space just can’t crank it loud but wouldn’t want to with passengers. 99.8% the time I’m fine with the 2/3 side rear seat up and my sub. Leaves me my front seats and a single seat in the back with the 1/3 seat behind the passenger seat. My youngest is 21 so don’t have kids to concern myself with anymore.

Not correct on the hitting hard by size. There are more factors involved than just raw size. You have to account for enclosure ported or not ported and vehicle air volume etc etc. when you hit the sweet spot and tuning range you want it’s magical.

O, and the Audio Control LC2i is a great product. Worth every penny. And if you want to get the best sound quality possible, do some sound treatment on the doors, buy an epicenter and get someone who knows how to tune it and have them tune it for your vehicle. Night and day difference. It'll be like you're at a fuckin IMax theater.

I have never watched a video where you talk so much but I could not hear any of the subs lol

You’ve way over thought this lol.. hook up the amp.. return all of that crap.. get a box made to go under the seat for 2 8”s.. run some jl w6”’s, dc audio level 3’s m, DD 608’s.. evl some skar evl’s.. it will be way cheaper then this.. be way louder then all of that combined even if you somehow managed to get it all in there and properly tune it all.. It will take up no more space then the 8 and 6 box side by side under the rear seats.. Forget that lc2.. get the factory specific t harness from pac audio that will plug and play into the back of the factory radio and do everything you need it to do.. they will have a vehicle specific kit to add an amp and sub and work with all the right canbus issues from modern day trucks.. I’m betting that has vehicle speed adjusted sound as well as a noise canceling system that plays through the sterio that works off the mic for when road noise picks up it puts a tone through the speakers to make the vehicle sound like it has less road noise then it does.. you can try 10c till Sunday to hook up stuff but you can’t bypass that crap.. it will ruin any signal you’re sending you your subs bo mater of how you set this up.. You’re hacking the hell out of this truck lol.. pac audio kit.. if you want you could run the lc2 after the pac t harness package.. it still has a functioning dsp system and will make for s cleaner signal going to the amp. The lc2 alone won’t work in terms of a stand alone in most modern vehicles cause if the blocs canceling system. Your pack it with come with an additional harness that plugs in between the blocs canceling unit and the radio so the signal going to the lc2 will bypass that and remain clean signal. If you really wanted to and for what you’ve spent already.. I’d say return the lc2 and swap it for an audio control epic center. (Catch here you’ll need someone that knows how to set it up properly for the sub tune on the box you use.) while they are doing that may as well lay them to also adjust the amp gain properly for you as well cause that is super important part of all this.. but that epic center setup right will allow you to have the same base from a bass track at x note as you do from a country song at B note in a basic way of putting it. While doing all that.. remove the entire factory sub.. I was typing so I missed what you did for ground wires but there will be a factory ground point somewhere near that factory sub.. you can reuse that. In the cab if s pickup 6’s and 8’s will perform the best because of the way sound works in the cabins of a truck.. 3/4 if your heard sound from 10’s and larger subs will be outside your vehicle not inside.. basically your cab becomes the speaker box and you’re essentially sitting in the port.. to verify this.. roll down the passenger window a couple inches.. if it gets louder and deeper base when you do this then this is the case.. you’re missing a lot of sound that way and it will actually sound better outside the cab then inside which defeats the entire point of doing any of this.. Two DC level 3 8’s would work well with that amp you have. They work very well in small truck tyoe air space boxes and you’ll be louder then 96% of bass heads who are running 4 12’s or something stupid in the cab of their truck lol. It will be louder then you’ll ever want it to be.. bout 138-141db at volume 😅. And last thing.. please stop doing any of this yourself.. screen shot this post go to a local audio shop with good reputation and tell them to give you something like I said… wire it all up for you and everything lol. Cause all these splices covered in electrical tape and such is horrible 😂😂. And you might be the first person I’ve ever seen butcher the rear cab air vents like that! This is epic fail on almost every point and for all the money you invested in this you could actually have had a very well rounded and very good system properly installed and tuned by someone who knows what they are doing.. I almost feel like this is a troll video here cause this is like bails on a chalk board to even someone who has a minor clue
