10in subs installed with custom box (lots of Pics)

Fabbed5.0 · Jul 19, 2015

Hey guys just finished installing two 10in kicker comp subs with a custom box I built. I chose to build the box as I could make it the max amount of cubes within the space given. I retained the factory navigation and used a line out converter off of the midrange speakers for the signal. If you have any questions, ill try to help out.

Sounds really good. I was surprised since I know trucks do not sound nearly as good as cars. The subs are actually under powered by 200 watts a piece, I just used an old amp I had.

15in tall, 34.5 wide, the base is 7in, and the top is 3in. The cutout for the seatbelt is 5.5in wide.

That is a nice/clean build.. I wonder if your measurements will work on the 08 CC's...

Yes they do, If you don't have the power rear window then it will allow for more room.

I love it! I guess I'll have to fly you to NY to help me build and install my stereo upgrade

Wow that looks awesome! May have to do a little something myself similar! Appreciate the dimensions. Stock hits good but I could use a little cleaner more powerful bass sometimes

I am looking to upgrade the system in my 2010 250 CC as well. I bought some used subs and amp online from a guy that upgraded his truck and no longer fit. Was going to build custom box. I want to keep my factory unit and know I need a line out converter but had a few questions. Would a standard one be better or will the PAC AOEM-FRD24 be best. I see it plugs into factory harness but where? at the stereo or at the plug where OEM sub was. Do you have aftermarket radio or did you use a converter?

Cheezus...that's a super nice box.

Sorry for the late reply,

I used the a standard line out converter, my truck came with navigation and the factory amped door speakers along with the amped sub. I took the wires from the factory door speaker amp from under the driver side dash and hooked the line out converter from there, if you don't have a factory door speaker amp then you just go off from behind the radio wires. If you go off the poem sub wires your bass will not be clear as the head unit limits it to 40 herts.

I plan on installing the new passive crossovers. Does the stock trucks have them and where are they located? It looks like I have 4 tweeters in the truck.

According to the wiring diagram our trucks so not have a passive crossover, the tweeters are T'ed into the midrange speakers. I have not pulled a door panel to confirm.
