I am having Circuit City install a MTX Thunder 5500 series (5510-04) 10" subwoofer in a sealed box along with a 300W (MTXTC3001 AMP) tonight. I also asked them to line the rear deck shelf tray with Dynamat to eliminate shelf rattle(which the factory sub creates). Total package just under $600

 

So? How did it turn out, and where are the pics? Lastly, it sounds like you did this to a stock setup. Yes?

 

Sorry don't have pics yet- Yes, Circuit City disconneted the factory sub and used the outputs from it. It is really more power than I need- I had to cut the new amp power in half using the adjustments on the amp. The nice thing is that I still have my sub-level controls through the end unit. Overall, very nice sounding-

I'm trying to figure out what the optimal amp settings should be on the sub

I have controls for GAIN, BASS, and FREQ RESPONSE- I understand gain but why have a BASS and a FREQ RESPONSE Control- what's the difference?

 

Hopefully, wont make your car rattle :-/

 

let me get this right, they fished a 4 gauge +wire tot the battery, grounded an 18 inch ground wire in the trunk and used high/low converter on your oem sub to creat rca outputs? what about the remote wire, where is it connected , let me know

thanks
