i have a JL 10w3 sub in a sealed box, and a rockford fosgate 160a2 amp. i was thinking of hooking it up to my cl, but im not too good with electrical components. anybody with a similar setup, did you really need the amp, and where did you mount it, how hard was the install, any information please elaborate. thanks in advance.

 

by the way, i just want to have the cleanest install, and versatility so i can take the sub in/out as needed. what else do i need for this application?

 

what do you mean, 'did you really need the amp?' a sub can't function without power... so yes you would need the amp.

 

i was just seeing if there was some possible way that the bose amp could power the sub also. haha. my hopes are too high. anyways, i need more answers.

 

You will HAVE to have a separate amp. For the 10W3 you will need something with a decent amount of power.

As far as the install, I would suggest that you get someone to do it for you because it is not the easiest thing in the world, especially if you haven't done it before.

For a simple install I would even suggest that you get with a board member in your area to do the install with you. The bose system that we have is easier to work with if you know how it works.

 

And he practices what he preaches.

 

so, anybody in the dc metro area willing to help me install?

 

I dont know what he is talking about. I just started stripping and cutting the wires. The next thing I knew, the OEM system disappeared

 

haha yeah but you have all your speakers replaced, i just wanna add a sub. i dont like stripping wires and all that jazz, it's frightening.

 

Hey man, I may not have the same setup but I am willing to help anyone for some good food and drinks and the satisfaction of installing stereo, i just love to do that stuff. I am in Maryland, PM me if you need the help. (Notice will be out of town 13 to 22 August)
