These are normally removed due to the LPG tank. They provide some bass but not alot. Just fit a box in the side of the boot and run that of an amp. It will be a lot better.

Do you still have the factory amp?

[frd_crzer]

dont use the factory anp you cannot tune them itsd factory tuned go out and buy a different amp. does anyone know how many watt the factory subs are?

um well is it hard to install with the tank n where would u recommend putting the amp keeping in mind i dnt wannna lose too much boot space.

Not hard at all. A good 10" sub in a small box on the side of the boot firing across will sound the best and save space. The factory amp provide good clean power, they are best used to run your front speakers.
When you buy the 10" buy a purpose build amp to suit.

wen u say firing across do u mean hav the **** of the su against the wall...n i dnt hav the stock amp either

[LTDHO]

Yeah it points to the other side.

Another option would be replace the stock 8" sub with a new one.. venom ones from jaycar are around $40.. and get a cheapie(~$100) 4 ch amp from strathies to run it and a good set of 6" or 6x9"s..

I made a spacer up for a guy not long ago to fit the 8" venom in with clearance for the gas tank..

How much bass are you after???

Cheers.,

If the amp is still in place it should be behind the panel on the right side of your boot.

By the way, I wouldn't bother with the factory 8" sub. I replaced mine with a 10" Pioneer, and mounted it into a custom box, a mate made specifically for an E series, which stis where the factory amps normally goes. The amp now mounts to the front of the custom box, next to the sub....pics later.

hey roosta, quick question for you and the audio guys. im running 6" 2ways in the front doors in custom pods, 6x9" 3 ways in the back shelf and 2x12" kenwood subs running off a jaycar 800w response amp at 2ohm. speakers are off the HU. now it sounds excellent at the moment. everyone tells me how clear the system sounds even with the bass right up. the only problem i've found is that i'm missing a bit of mid-bass thanks to the gap between 6" and 12". if i put a shallow/free-air 8" sub in the hole in the parcel shelf with a small amp, would that fill out the spectrum or just add too much more bass?

um how much do the spacers cost..cos im onli interestd in a little bi of bass..not the full set up..if u no wat i mean

Hey,

First off all, Simmo, You may find an 8" would provide the mid-bass required but it would need to be setup with a suitable hi/lo pass filter.. so its only working between say 55hz to 150hz.. I noticed you said you have a set of 6" and 6x9's,, are they amped or headunit?? if headunit then i would amp them before adding a 8" sub into the system.. I have always found that speakers generally need more power for the mid to bass region of the sound spectrum.. Headunits just don't produce enough power IMO to run anything more than tweeters.. Also make sure your crossovers etc are all set correctly..

Eb sports.. I can make up a 8" spacer for you.. lifts the sub up 40mm at front and 90mm at the back... all fibreglassed and bogged ready for final finish or carpet.. PM for a price.. I am currently making one up so i will take pic's when its done..

Cheers,
Nik
