I think the stock Jag B&W system is the best stock system i've ever heard, but i decided after a few years of ownership to pump up the bottom end a bit. a long long time ago i was huge into car stereo and still had all my gear sitting in the basement. Decided to put it to good use!

I haven't messed with fiberglass in 15 years so it was a bit of a re-learn process, but i wanted to get something going where i can still keep my spare tire. Glassed up a box to fit in the corner and used my old kicker L7 12'. Where the sub is now i did a quick and dirty amp rack, then i can place a board over it and put the spare on top. it all fits like a glove! I reused my kicker SX900.4, so the sub is only getting about 450-500 watts from the rear channels, but i didn't want to pay for a new amp. ClassAB isn't ideal, but i can swap it for class D later. I found out the hard way the LC2 from audio control is mandatory, i used others and they just dont work.

All in all it costs me about $120 in materials, including the LC2. I couldn't have done it without the previous posts of installs, especially Kyanite. It really is a pretty simple install so if you are thinking about doing it, do it!

 

Nice

 

looks nice how did you slice into to factory wiring?

 

Thanks! With the B&W system its pretty easy. i just cut the 4 wires going to the factory sub and plugged them into the LC2. The LC2 does the rest of the work, providing the signal and remote turn on to the amp.

 

where does a guy get a LC2

 

I got mine off Amazon,

 

got it thanks
