I love the stealth look. My S10 i only had a 10 inch sub all pioneer set up. The sound was so clear and the bass was so clear. I was so proud of my work
Excellent video but the bass is not at all shown in the demo, this is the normal problem in videos. The best thing to do is be very descriptive of what you're hearing because it's next to impossible to capture it in a video
This is the best version of the 12 trtp12 I have seen on youtube....but I don't have that storage underneath.... so e erything will be in my hatch.... 90's style.... all showing amp rack... yes it will cost more... but I already have everything... and I mean everything.... kicker everything... front doors... rear doors... all new Kicker tweeters all doors.... sound deadener hatch... and front rear doors.... fast rings... speed wiring... 400 ft 12g kicker wires... 1 g battery ... 4 g amp... 3 amps total.... under front seat 2 ways... to balance off the bass from 12.. also kicker battery terminal replacements... I have so much shit... I even have 4 fans for my amp rack... with a SMD heat monitor.. with auto turn on for temperature control... I have so much more shit... I have shit I don't need... I have 2 Loc's... both kicker... I also have the kicker Front Row... brand new still in the packaging... for my DSP... after 10 years ago... I have speaker carpet to cover all levels of my amp rack.. as well as a new spare tire well... that has to have a split access to my spare tire... 3 level amp rack... sub... amps... loc's and dsp on top rack... everything enclosed in a case... like a mini deli counter.... my name is MUNCHONEM.... so why not.... I have an installer already lined up here in Newark NJ.... so wish me luck.... im trying to figure out... LED. Lighting in my drafts... but im thinking one color... white... simple deli counter..
Beat on the rt 12 for almost a yr before I killed it with too much power. It took it for a few months before it went. Good sounding, well built sub. Always wanted to try a pass-rad though
I have a “22” 330i and I want 1 sub but I want that lost bass that comes from an Epicenter. Could you guide me to a space saver box OR another options? Please, thank you
I have both of those.... my trunk space is limited... my spare is underneath... i need access to that... so sub has to be on top.. and the amps have to be installed above the sub... i also have kisload4ch for factory radio... also 47keyloc for dsp..
Love this set up, clean, hidden and have all the cargo space open! How long did this install take? Trying to figure out an estimate to get mines done like this in the Bay Area.
Im building.. all kicker... same sub and amp in a 2018 tiguan... but not hidden... all exposed... like a deli counter... 3 amps 47keyloc.. coaxial front rears... 3/4 tweeters all around.. stinger parts.. roadkill... fast rings .. speedwire... and other things... in newark nj... need help
Did you use the Technic harness? I got that same WavTech Link2 from them today, and installing an amp and sub in the trunk, but just looking for clarification on the Link2 itself. Did you run the +,-,rem wires from the Link2 directly to the amps +,-,rem spots? Thanks!
It's probably a cleaner install. That Amp does accept high level inputs but doesn't have a gracefully way to connect stripped wire ends. One would have to butcher a poor set of RCAs to plug into the amp.
Passive radiator setups are often closer to sounding like a ported enclosure but without the chuffing that happens when you play lower than the port is tuned for. The response is also similar to a ported enclosure in that it is "tuned" to sound it's loudest at a specific frequency and anything below that is going to level off significantly, i.e. like a ported box
It is unlikely the impedance of the sub is getting down to 2 ohms playing music. So your never going to actually see that 600 watts. So you'll be fine. Just don't feed the sub a clipped signal.
With a passive radiator, wouldn’t that cause phase cancellation with the sub? Correct me if I’m wrong, but in a sealed enclosure, as the woofer pushes out, it would create negative pressure inside the enclosure, causing the radiator to pull in, making the motions of the sub and radiator at constant opposites of each other. Wouldn’t this actually reduce perceived low end because of phase cancellation? Or am I completely off base?
Ok great observation and if you watch this box play it does look like one is pushing and on is pulling. But it’s not the same as if you wired woofer out of phase…. When woofers are out of phase they are working against each other causing you to hear no bass. But with a passive radiator it use the energy of the subwoofer as an assistant, kind of like a port. Ok I hope that explanation helps. Thanks for the comment it was a really good one.
The weight of the passive radiator is calculated so that it moves slower than the subwoofer. At it's tuned frequency the radiator is 1/2 a wave behind the sub and the output increases. It basically works just like a port on a ported box. The port moves the air back and forth and the passive radiator does the same exact thing. The pro is that the box can be smaller, the con is the added cost of the radiator.
can this subwoofer the 10 inch version be mounted on the tail gate facing forward towards the front seats?? (I have a '21 Bronco and the tailgate seems like the best place without losing too much cargo space)
Yes, but loading the driver by facing it against a panel does boost output. The sub facing forward will work fine, you'll just need to increase the bass knob a little compared to it firing downward.
This is a tuned combo. If you take the subwoofer and passive radiator and put it into a custom box you will need to make sure you have the same exact airspace as the original box. If the airspace differs it's going to change the tuning of the passive radiator.
I got a question? I have a new suv well it a year old actually, but it’s the 2023 Buick Envision ST n I’ve been wanting to hook up this exactly speakers you are showing n I’ve been trying to find out what is the “harness” I need to connect to the factory stereo?? If you could please guide me in the right direction I would be very grateful…@breakersstereo&performance
You will get way less bass from 2 12" in a very undersized box. This passive radiator setup is just like a ported box tuned to about 35Hz. It has great low bass.
sounds amazing on my 1.5 inch computer speakers
Lmao

Lucky 😢

Yeah car audio can be so satisfying when done properly for sure!
Cool. So the Fitment is good? I'm looking for a Box for an S10 Regular cab too. Would 2 of these be overkill?
I have this exact same setup in my single cab… hits pretty hard i love it
Nice!
Does it fit well in your single cab? I want this for my truck don’t know if it will fit.
@@gagemeyer363 it fits good just a little loose of course but nothing a little piece of wood cant fix
@@josemigo5933 nice!!

Why was a line output converter used if the amp has one built in? Thanks!
These enclosures looks really good I put two of them in my bronco sport but they aren’t very loud at all
I want the same thing in my x5....you guys should of done a how to install of this!!!
I know!!! Agh!
Nice vid! Installing same setup with 10” in my 23 Acura RDX Aspec but without LOC….no need for it.
have you installed this subwoofer in a F150 truck with B&O basic system? (8 speakers) if yes, do you have a video?
Thank you
I have the solobaric 12inch box that thing hits

I’m gonna check if this would fit in my Nissan Xterra. I have an enclosed compartment like that
Love this set up, clean, hidden and have all the cargo space open!
How long did this install take? Trying to figure out an estimate to get mines done like this in the Bay Area.
3-4 hours not long. Thanks for the comment
Nice! Thanks for responding! Keep up the dope work!
Do you have a video of the installation of the wavtech? Can you add an epicenter?
I discovered this enclosure about a year ago and no matter how much searching I’ve done I can’t find em :( any help?
We just got them back in stock for go to our site
Amazon has it

This amp is capable of receiving either Hi or Low-level signals.......why did you use the converter?
Perfect setup 👌🏽
Did you use the Technic harness? I got that same WavTech Link2 from them today, and installing an amp and sub in the trunk, but just looking for clarification on the Link2 itself. Did you run the +,-,rem wires from the Link2 directly to the amps +,-,rem spots? Thanks!
I got this same set up in my accord But I want to fine tune it..
Why did you use a link2? Those Kicker amps can handle up to 40V of signal with no LOC needed.
It's probably a cleaner install. That Amp does accept high level inputs but doesn't have a gracefully way to connect stripped wire ends. One would have to butcher a poor set of RCAs to plug into the amp.
I wonder how this would be in a 2017 Dodge Durango and do you get nice deep face out of this little box
Nice video Josh. How would you describe the sound of this Sub enclosure...more like a sealed box or a ported one? Or maybe a combination of both?..
Great question. It played pretty deep but accurate as well. So I’d say both
Passive radiator setups are often closer to sounding like a ported enclosure but without the chuffing that happens when you play lower than the port is tuned for. The response is also similar to a ported enclosure in that it is "tuned" to sound it's loudest at a specific frequency and anything below that is going to level off significantly, i.e. like a ported box
Can the door speakers be upgraded to 5.25 or 6.5 in a 2017 bmw x5 xdrive 35i m sport ?
What was the loc for? That amp can handle 40 volts to the RCA inputs.
Yeah could have gone done without it and went straight in.
What size wire did you use?
looking to put something into my 2022 chevy blazer would this be a good option?
What would I need to hook up a 4 channel amp for the door speakers?
Cool . Thank you for the video bro... i have same one 12" ,, which amp is better the cxa800 or the cxa400???
You ever find out?
Since the CXA800.1 amp is putting out 600w RMS @ 2ohms to the sub that’s only rated at 500w rms @ 2ohms will that cause the sub to blow or anything??
This sub peaks at 1000watts , I run mine at 600watts at 2ohms and it’s okay
@@christianheredia3428 thanks i installed this exact sub yesterday with a 800w amp 600w at 2ohm just wanted to make sure it was safe to do

Nothing installed yet... just sitting in my trunk... 2018 vw tiguan
Can remove the radiator and get another sub in
Curious if there’s enough room to fit two Kicker TRTP12 in that x5
how do we install the Link2 WaveTech converter to BMW X5 F15??
can this subwoofer the 10 inch version be mounted on the tail gate facing forward towards the front seats?? (I have a '21 Bronco and the tailgate seems like the best place without losing too much cargo space)
Yes, but loading the driver by facing it against a panel does boost output. The sub facing forward will work fine, you'll just need to increase the bass knob a little compared to it firing downward.
Do you think these 12 will fit in a Tacoma?
But not in this original kicker box in a custom box for Tacoma‘s ?
This is a tuned combo. If you take the subwoofer and passive radiator and put it into a custom box you will need to make sure you have the same exact airspace as the original box. If the airspace differs it's going to change the tuning of the passive radiator.
What's the color of the wires you tap for the LOC
Is this pretty boomy or punchy?
How much amp power can I use for this box
I just got mine today. Will I need another battery to run this? I saw Exocontralto install an extra battery for his GF's sub/amp.
It depends on whether your vehicles voltage sags with the bass note.

Looks good. Where did you pull the audio signal from?
Off the amp in the rear from the sub speaker output channels
@@BreakersStereo Thank you!
Which line converter did you use?
Where can I find the link2?
Where is your shop so you can install this same set up in my X5
We’re in oxnard CA but we can ship if your too far away.
It is a powered sub-hoofer , why you need that amplifier for ?
Where did you put the spare tire?
Doesn't come with spare tire.
Bmw comes with Pirelli run flats
Which LOC did you use?
Wavtech Link2
is that a custom box enclosure?
It’s a prefabricated box
@@BreakersStereo thanks
🔥👍
So no rattling ? Might have to give this a try for the X3M
Whack ass car
1 ohm or 2 ohm
2 ohm
What does that cost to do including install?
It’s easy asf you can do it yourself
Could I replace the passive radiator with another active 12 like make it a 2 12 slim box ?
Exactly what I'm going to do. I'll let you know what it sounds like.
Not enough air space . You'll be choking them.. will they play? yes ...but they won't sound nearly as good as they can with the proper airspace
You will get way less bass from 2 12" in a very undersized box. This passive radiator setup is just like a ported box tuned to about 35Hz. It has great low bass.
🤔😒never heard the bass my stock x5 sound Louder
Do you have a factory amp for your inside speakers?
Yo bro! Why do you tuck your ears in your hat???
Thats what your focused on?
Can’t even hear the bass and I have expensive ear phones.
Not enough sound coming out of that system. Sorry
If we go off that demo, NO one would buy the sub! I have surround sound, with 2 subs, and. I didn't hear any bass at all...Mostly mids, and highs!
3 subs and couldn't even hear them
There was no bass🤣🤣🤣
No help at all
Worst place you could’ve put them
I would suggest to do a little homework before you try to explain something you know little about.
Hi, do you guys have a package for a Volvo XC40?
I have the H&K System but need more low end and harder hitting bass.
