Cerwin-Vega Spare Tire Subwoofer Install In My 2022 BRZ 🔊
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2022
- Cargo space in the BRZ is, in short supply, but we still need a banging system in the back! Enjoy this quick and super easy install of the Cerwin-Vega Spare Tire Subwoofer (VPSTX12 12" SHALLOW VERSION) in my 2022 Subaru BRZ. This should work with any new gen and old-gen BRZ/86/FRS.

I have the non-shallow version of this in my K5. I had the base system and it made a huge difference in the sound without having to give up any trunk space for my family hauler.
Thinking of adding a little extra to my 13' optima sxl. Comes with the upgraded infinity system so the sub/system itself is already amazing but I want to add a bit more ummmphhfff. Not sure if I could just piggy back off the stock sub/amp that sits right below the rear window and passenger quarter panel
By far the cleanest and the most classy when in comes to upgrades 2nd gen brz RUclipsr
Thansk Arthur! ❤️
I got mines in a maxima and it’s okay with Bose system. It does add a great deal of bases inside the car. I did sound proof my truck. After a year of use, it’s still runs good but I have just upgrade the full system to focal flax Evo 3 way front stage, dsp, epic center and Focal Flax Evo coaxial in the rear deck with two 1O flax subs. I would recommend the cerwin Vega for small bass upgrades to any factory radio.
It doesn't cut it with the flax evo setup? I've purchased on 3-way flax evo, will install it soon, but yeah wondered if my spare sub would hold up. I have the one in the video. Will try it out, cause I have a little car and really need this cargo space.
Solid video dude. Just ordered this and should be here by my birthday this weekend. Great option for keeping the trunk clean while adding a bit of bump to the car.
💯 Happy early birthday!
I've always wondered how those subwoofers sound. Maybe you could do a before and after from the driver seat since you can unplug it. Also I didn't see a inline fuse for the hot wire. Maybe I missed it. Anyway nice video. Car looks awesome too.
Thanks for watching Bryan! That’s a great idea. Before and after would be a great video. Also the fuse is right at the battery. Thanks again!
Would've liked to have seen how you actually ran the cable from the sub to the battery. My main concern is how to do that.
Reach out to me on my Instagram and I can make you a video on how I did it. @catalyst_4k
Really just wanted to be your 900th subscriber!!!! Best of luck!!
I really appreciate that! Glad to have such a great subscriber :)
Keep the vids coming! Yeah before and after def!!!!
Nice ! Kept the trunk space too .
100%, it’s great
Great video just made sure your ground is touching bear metal bc sometimes they have paint and you want to scratch it away so get a really good ground
Thanks, will do!
Super smart idea and great video dude
Thanks!
Have you heard anyone with the JBL version of this same thing? I'd be curious how you think your CV compares to the JBL? And/or could you tell me if you'd rank it as good as a more standard 10-12" subwoofer (standard box style), or is it less bass-y?
I actually had a standard 12” sub in sealed box. It I would say it’s just as comparable :)
@@Catalyst4k oh rad! Thx for the reply!
Can you tell me about running the power wire from the battery back to the trunk? Did you need to take any plastic panels off, or were you able to just push the wire under the trim/carpet ?
Thanks for watching! I had to remove the plastic trims near the passenger footwell and the side rectangle one. The rest I was able to tuck by hand.
@@Catalyst4k thanks! Do you remember how you got the long panels along the bottom of the door opening off?
@@MotoMangia You’re welcome! Yes just pull strait up without fear.
Wrong link for the adapter😞
I have a Mazda 6 sedan and want to install this one. As it is a sedan and the back sit “do not allow” the bass to go into the cabin as much as a hatch, do you think it is a good idea ? Will I be able to have some noticeable difference in the bass ?? (Sorry for my bad English )
Yes you will. It will actually be better in my opinion.
I have a 2023 GR 86 premium which has the external amp like your limited BRZ, should be the same. I used the adapter you referenced from E bay. I used The JBL sound hub instead. Great step by step BTW.. Any time the signal wire is connected, my sub is powered on. Even if the ignition is completely off. If I disconnect it, the sub turns off. It seems like the harness adapter has me tapping in to a constant voltage source, not one that is only on with the radio. Idk why there would ever be power going anywhere with the ignition off. I’m baffled. Any suggestions. I was thrilled how great it made my system sound until I cut the ignition off, and the remote, and power lights stayed on.I had to just pull the adapter from my amp and plug the factory plug back in for now, as it will kill my battery..Appreciate any suggestions .. anyone here have a similar experience?
Thanks for the feedback! It the same here. Battery hasn’t given out on me yet although the power light stays lit. I think there might be a timer for it honestly. I haven’t payed much attention to it.
I have the JBL on my 2023 GR86 premium and make the same. If you have the car key near the car the sub don't turn off but if the car key no are near the car it turn off.
Very curious if you ever figured this out… thinking about buying the same adapter.
@@Fuddermucker47 turns off after 35 seconds, but it turns on again after car door is open. i left key inside the house and tested this. i cut the blue wire and was going to connect it to the blue wire with white stripe. thats normally the remote wire. but when i saw that it does turn off after 35 seconds, i left it as is. adapter works fine.
@@saulfernandez3035 thanks
Yoo my brz came with tire patch kit and a air compressor. I’m confused! 😭
Yeah, they come like that from the factory. Check out my video of me installing a spare: ruclips.net/video/qxWjoJG8ct8/видео.html
Do you get a thump when you turn it off?
I don't. Check out my channel for the RUclips short with my gain settings. You might have it turned up too high.
Hi, by any chance do you know if this setup would work with a 2022 GR86 that has no spare tire? Car is only equipped with air canisters to inflate tire in case of flat.
Hi, it would you would just have to remove the space saver. It would still have the threaded hole at the bottom.
I bought the same subwoofer and the instructions say a 4 gauge wire but your link is for a 6 gauge. Idk much about speakers is that fine? Also great work on the video! (Edit: I have a 2015 frs everything will work the same correct?)
Nice! I would say 6 gauge should be fine but if it recommends 4 gauge I’d say get that one. Yes, your FRS should be the same configuration. Same amp. Good luck on the install!
Hey bro how did it go for you with the loc adapter? I’m thinking bout doing this method on my 2014 frs
@@ItsDaqoHD it worked perfectly for me. Never had to mess with the headunit
So you’re using the factory amp
I thought a mono amp was needed for the subwoofer
Using the factory amp for the audio signal but the subwoofer has its own amp built in.
Thank you for your review
I clicked the ebay link for the amp adapter and I do not see it listing the 2022 GR86 or BRZ. I just wanted to check to make sure I was looking at the right page. I was hoping to put in a rockford fosgate p300 amplifed subwoofer and in my other cars, I have tied into the speaker wires but this way is more cleaner using the rca cables. Just wanted to make sure I was looking at the right one. Thanks
Thanks for watching Shane. It won’t say 2022 GR86 or BRZ but I promise it works,
@@Catalyst4k awesome, I just wanted to make sure. The cost isn't crazy but thought I would want the right once so when I start taking it apart to install, I would have it. does your sub over power the words or is it just the right amount? I love the rockford ones, they don't over power the words but was curious with that radio, what you thought. I can't wait for mine to come in this month
@@shaneholguin8028 you can always adjust the bass using the head unit so it won’t be overwhelming. I had it on +6 for bass and after the install I lowered it to +3 so it can be even.
I used the adapter shown in the video and listed in the link above. My Rockford Fosgate amplifier would not turn on with the head unit. I had to remove and splice the amp's remote turn on wire (which is also blue) into the adaptor's dark blue wire (the one that connects to the dark green wire on the factory harness). The amp turns on with the head unit now.
@@jukeboxzero1 My 2023 GR86 premium have 12V in the dark green cable.
Excellent vid. Thank you. Now I'm wondering how this is going to go with the full size spare that will come with mine. To be determined...
Thanks for watching! I’m curious as well. I’m thinking it should fit. Update me on the news.
Curious how long your sub amp stays powered on after the car is turned off with this ebay connector?
It will stay on as long as the car senses the key and initial power is there. It turns off shortly after.
I have a question
Please...
I haven't bought the car yet
I'm from Israel And it will only arrive in 2023.
Then of course I will buy it.
I would like to upgrade the sound system.
The question is whether the adapter that you recommend can connect to a four-channel amplifier Because I want to connect a subwoofer and 2 Twitter And I'll put them on the dashboard.
Thanks in for the answer
I would say it will not work with this adapter. You would need 4 audio inputs where this only has 2. You would most likely have to get those from the head unit directly. You would probably use the same adapter and just use 2. This is all speculation of course as I have not done that yet.
@@Catalyst4k
Thank you for your quick response ❤️
@@itaybutavia1204 You’re welcome!
@@Catalyst4k
I hope you will update also the high frequency with Twitter on the dashboard
So I can learn from you !
Should've sacrifice some trunk space for better sounding and deeper bass. Doesn't really sound good
Great step by step video my man… So this adapter will work with my 2023 gr86 premium?
Thanks! Yes it should work with any BRZ Limited or GR86 Premium with the factory amp.
@@Catalyst4k sweet, thanks for the info!!
@@Just-Two-Bros You’re welcome!
Hey man I installed everything you put in your link and the sub runs great! I was wondering if you have had an issue with it cutting out after about an hour of running. The protection light comes on and its super hot to touch. About 60% gain on my settings. Would appreciate feedback!
I would turn down your gain to probably 50% or try 55%. Its going in protect maybe because its getting too hot.
Check out my channel for a recent Reel. It shows what setting that works for me. I would also verify that all your connections are good.
@@Catalyst4k Nice car, do you know what the width of your spare tire is? I'm worried it still might be to tall in my S3.
Which firewall grommet did you run your power cable through? The big one that already has a cable bundle running through it or the small, unused one several inches toward the center of the car?
Thanks.
Sure, if you go to 3:00 it will show you where I ran the cable threw. It’s a small unused hole right behind the battery. Hope this helps!
Could you record a quick video of it playing from inside the car?
Check out my latest video for a demo inside the car.
Hi- I see the spot, from the engine bay side on the firewall, behind the battery for the power cable . Where exactly is that hole located from inside the vehicle and do you have to remove any trim or panels to access it?
It’s kind of behind the dash. Behind the carpet. I found it by pushing the cable from the engine bay side and looking for it.
Your car came with a spare??
Not from factory. Check out my channel for the install video if you want one for your own!
Will you be replacing the inside speakers as well i heard they weren’t the greatest? 😅
I will be. I have some Rockford Fosgates waiting for the install. 🙂
@@Catalyst4k cant wait for the vid keep us posted! 😁
@@Tlxmiami305 Will do!
How is it while driving?
It’s good. You can still feel the bass kick. You just need to tune it using the bass knob to what you like.
I have a BRZ premium on the way. I don't think it has an amp in the trunk to plug into. do they make a powered sub?
I don’t think they do.
Did you need to access the back of the head unit at all?
Not at all. All I needed was the adapter in the description 👌🏽
Where do you buy the bolt to hold it in place?
Thanks for watching, the bolt will be included with the Subwoofer. 👌🏽
@@Catalyst4k Thanks, could you post the length of yours after you cut it?
@@ikaru007 I cut mine to 6 1/2 inches. Hope that helps. You’ll also have to grind down the wing nut.
@@Catalyst4k thank you!
@@ikaru007 You’re welcome!
Yoo that subaru windshield shade..amazon or dealership:? i need it
It’s a Subaru sunshade. Make sure you get the one for the new gen BRZ because they are different
Will the non shallow version fit back there as well?
You know I’m really not sure. I would say no because the shallow one is flush.
@@Catalyst4k Yeah that makes sense, just wanted to make sure I dont get the wrong one. Thank you brother
@@raposafox9222 No problem 💪🏽
Sup woofer
Nice video. If you look at the Cerwin Vega vid for installing this - ruclips.net/video/jmLU5lirtlE/видео.html - notice the post they have going through the sub at the 1:08 mark. WTF is the point of making a shallow subwoofer and then putting a post through it that sticks up an additional 2+ inches? Can someone explain what's going on there? From looking at what you did, that piece appears to be unneeded and you can just use the bolt by itself. Did the washer come with the bolt and wing nut or did you have to add that ?
I think they had a large post so it would work for different cars. With us unfortunately having to shorten it. The bolt came with the washer and wingnut that I had to cut to make it flush with the sub.
@@Catalyst4k Instead of post, I guess I should have said the whole plastic sheath thing or whatever that is that they have sticking up really high. It's not just the bolt. Did your kit not include that?
@@RC-xf6wu oooooooo I didn’t use that plastic piece. I just used the bolt with the wingnut
