custom subwoofer

[psychos2]

i think tones is free air sub (no enclosure).
a sealed enclosure sounds much better . an 8W3v2 would work perfectly. check it out here. shawn

I like the sound of this subwoofer, and it is easy to add to any system.

It is sealed, but has a passive radiator. It has a built in Amp with auto-on, and several mounting options.

The folks at this link will get it to your house for $255. They are authorized Infinity. (I have no affiliation).

Crutchfield and Circuit City (both Infinity Authorized as well) sell this same item, but are charging over $300 with shipping.

A great way to wire this in to your system is to build a breakout harness by buying the "into car" harness and the "into radio" harness, then splicing the runs to the L+, L-, R+, R-, and the remote amp wire back the speaker.

Metra makes a breakout harness just for this purpose. It's part number 60-7712.

If you want only one end, the "into car" end is 70-7712 and the "into radio" end is 71-7712.

The amp signal wire on Isuzu factory radios is one of the two unused locations. I honestly can't remember which one it is, but only one of them provides power when the radio is on, that is the one to use. My aftermarket amp is signaled this way. You will need an extra pin for that location, you can buy a second "into radio" adapter and move the pin from one connector to another. You may be able to get one from the Isuzu dealership. Toyota Part number 82998-12340 is an exact fit for this pin; you'll have to order it from a Toyota Dealership.

An easier way to install the unit is to splice locally at each rear speaker for the L and R and use the "auto on" feature of the speaker to avoid running an amp trigger signal. It may be possible to use the antenna amplifier's signal wire, but that's only if the antenna amp is nearby in the vehicle, you are comfortable splicing into this wire (noise worries, etc) and I am uncertain if this wire is powered when the radio is not playing (like when the CD or tape is playing).

Good luck! I make you no promises, let us know how it turns out.

I've heard the Basslink. I think it was in Zadam123' VX. It sounds really good.

I have purchansed a cheap (PLTBA12) Pyle sub with built in amp as a stopgap until I build an enclosure in the rear door. It cost me $94.00 delivered from an ebay delear.

I'm getting it installed next week. The only problem is that I did not realize how big the enclosure would be, but it should fit in the back behind the seats.

Does the speaker go in with the spare tire? Also, does it vibrate on the door really hard? I may be interested also, since I have a Sony explode 2 10's and it takes up my entire back practically as you can see if you go to my gallery....

[psychos2]

i really do not think it will vibrate the door much. the sound is traveling away from the door.yes it fits tight inside the spare tire.i would like to try it before shipping it to james ,but that is up to him. shawn

[james1_10018]

hey Shawn

by all means do try it

Shawn, if you will router the edge of the speaker opening you can get a bit more distance from the cone to the spare tire cover otherwise it could hit the cover on excursion.

I'm sure you have noticed the circular area on the cover that looks like it was designed for a grill! I usually make on that fits in there and can be stapled through the plastic outter ring that is left as a guide.
