"Standard Audio + Subwoofer" Question

[X5.0]

When I first heard the dsp system in my X it was pretty good but it lacked the low end that I wanted. So I search for something better but didnt want a bigass box in the back. Looked at the infinity and still it wasnt enough power. I tried a 10" bazooka tube that I had but the bass was too boomy maybe because of the hatchback, but it was loud. So I finally found kicker solobarics.
They only require a small box and plenty of power. I bought 2 l5 10" the new chrome looking ones. Built a box for them and still have some space for cargo. Although the box is bigger than both the bazooka or the infinity, the trade off is worth it. The bass is nice and tight. If you sit in the back it have enough power to give you a free massage. I tried to turn it up all the way as loud as I can sitting in the car with the windows rolled up then went outside. With the doors closed I can barely hear anything from the outside. You can feel a little bass but thats it. But with the windows down you can hear it quite loud. I still havent cover the box yet no time lately. By the way anyone know where I can find matching carpet material for the box? Painting is a way to go but its alot more work.

I love solo barics, I have an L7 12". But it gets even better with a ported box. Are you still running on your factory deck?

You say you added a new sub to your DSP system. How difficult was that? Did you need a bunch of adapters?

It took me about 3 days off and on to hook up the amp and another day to build the box. I worked slowly and test everything because I did not want to mess anything up. I use a line out converter that i had to hook it up to the output on the main processor or brain. It is located under the spare tire. Thanks to a member from another forum for all the info. I dont know if I can post the link so pm me if you need it.
