There is no stock rear location other then the doors. The setup so far. Marine certified Polk DB651S (6 1/2's) In the front and DB402 (4") in the back powered by a kenwood DDX574bh HU.

That would still be in the way. The reason I want it under a seat our hidden is because I throw a lot of stuff in this car. Like completely jam pack it with everything from treestands/blinds to fishing/kayaking stuff and any sub in the open cabin will not only be in the way but would also be...

I was just going to a add one of my twelves in a ported box to boost the sound of my little 1999 impreza wagon but I've decided although I want some bass like the title implies I don't want to sacrifice cabin or cargo space. So my question is what would be some good under the seat options? I...

Ok so I have three old school subs that are somewhat sentimental to me one of which I blew a few years back and I am trying to find a replacement for but finding an exact match is not the easiest thing to do with subs this old so I had a question. The setup was three 4 ohm SVC subs wired down...

What do yo guys think about using the KHC1800 as my starter battery to save some $$?

Trust me I get that. I was just hoping for closer to 300 seeing as I also need to buy a new double din HU plus the stuff to hook up the new bat and send my subs off for a rebuild or get new ones. Then in the back of my head I keep telling myself to sell this SUV and get something different...

02-04 MERCURY Mountaineer 240a High Output Alternator - Mechman Alternators This one doesn't seem to bad although it's probably more then I will need and a little more then I would like to spend.

Like?? Thats what I am here for.

I know it's done all the time but my understanding was it was bad to run a stock alt to charge two bats and kind of pointless. I know i am not pushing a crazy amount of power but that could always change and even right now my lights dim pretty bad. Also unless there is some big downsides to...

The SUV is my old 2004 Mercury Mountaineer Premier 4.6 V8. Basics of the setup is 3 12's on a 1250 watt class d monoblock amp ran on KNU 4GA.

Ok, so a few days ago I got a Kinetik KHC1800 pretty cheap but was questioning putting it in on a stock alt. Well today that in no longer necessarily an issue because my alt just happened to crap out (I know the time is crazy). Anyway I don't know much about alt's and just want to see if I could...

I got to mess with it a little more today and I retract my previous statement. It has lost a LOT of it's punch! No more bag trick and the amount of air it moves has been dropped to basically nothing. I now feel like all the kids around here with lame improperly installed/powered setups.

Well I rewired the two remaining subs to 2ohm and put everything back together tonight. The dummy sub works like a charm and you can't really tell a huge difference overall but the setup does seem like it's lost some punch especially when it hit's certain tones.

I thought about that but I would have to buy wood and do more work. Plus why would that be any better then just putting the sub back? I mean I figure putting the sub back will take up some of the extra box space since this is the one sub that's not inverted and even though it doesn't work...

Oh that old girl was toasty. I took it apart gingerly so everything except the second spider is %100 intact and then I unwound the coil. I had the crazy idea of just putting it back in and using it like a sub reverb since the other two subs push it like if it was still working. That way it...
