Another mod

[AV8B6015]

So, I gotta ask. I keep telling myself I don't NEED to upgrade the sub, but I sure want to. Let's say I wanted to do this mod. Would I just need the sub, a fox box, an amp and a line level converter?

pretty much. You will also need 4 ga wire to run from the battery back to the amp with an inline fuse within 18" of the battery.....then also 4 ga. wire to ground the amp. You will also need a keyed 12v power source to turn on the amp(on aftermarket head units its called the remote wire)

Thanks! I'm clear on the wiring, just wanted to make sure I had the major components. Will the amp not interfere since the factory system is amplified too?
There is one thing I forgot to add to the list.....money!!!

know this is an old thread, but how are the spacers holding up? I see that they are MDF.

Thanks!

So where did you finally decide to mount your amp? I hate to lose the other storage compartment....

still sitting in the same spot. I knew i no matter what I was going to loose it. I got swing case in the bed that held that would have been in that tiny spot anyway. Since I had the sub in the other spot it wasnt a big loss.

Here is my swing case mod >> http://www.ramforum.com/f41/bed_mod-10795/

That is an interesting solution. I will have to check that out.

bumping this one back up.

Anyone know the air volume of the fox box? Its the DQC-112-S fox box.

My last remaining sub died. I guess a run of 15 years on the sub was it. I need to get a new one and I want to make sure I get one that will be in the right air volume range.

anyone?

Its got to be at least 1.25 cf but you could always fill it full of popcorn to confirm

sent thru a cloud of smoke

i dont have that option right now. Its not on their site anymore. I need a new sub and I want to better match it this time.
