old_mate Member 767 Member For: 18y 8m 23d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 23/11/12 10:21 AM Share Posted 23/11/12 10:21 AM I drilled three new ones, and enlarged the other a bit.I actually farked up and put the drill through the surround, taped it up and installed it anyway. Now I know it goes ok, will spend another 30 bucks and get another.keen to compare it against the JBL 8" off the stock amp. Also keen to dynamat the shelf. I have bass just below half, as any more than that made the stocko speakers sound evil, but I cranked up the 80hz xover within the ICC. Perhaps with a decentish set of speakers with a high sensitivity to run off the ICC, I may just make the 'premium' audio somewhat premium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the type of music the max volume is 15-20 before speakers start giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 1m 14d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 25/11/12 09:52 AM Share Posted 25/11/12 09:52 AM Fitted the Response sub this morning and did a couple of back to back tests while I had the rear parcel cover off.First thing is the two new holes and two of the existing holes have to be elongated a lot to fit the factory screw locations. Basically make the holes oval shape towards the centre of the sub until all the holes line up. I make a little bridge connector with some male and female push in fittings so that I did not have to butcher the OEM plug for the sub, and I am glad I did.I find with the polarity swap, EQ set to Rock, and Bass at 3/4 the factory sub is pretty punch between Vol setting 15-20. Over 20 both the sub and speakers start to distort pretty bad if the music has a lot of bass.With the Response sub I found that it did not have nowhere near as much punch at lover volumes, even with the Bass set to max at volume 15 it was not as punchy. The Response sub is a lot better at higher volumes compared to the OEM sub and does not distort. But it is still not as punchy, the bass is pretty tinny. I think the Response sub would be much better in an enclosure. I guess it depends on the type of music you listen to and how loud you like your music. For me I found the OEM sub a bit better as it gave a bit more at lower volume.If anyone in WA wants a free Response sub PM me.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the light green wire as the positive as you mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I think a decent dynamat job on the shelf would make it that much better again. Edited 25/11/12 12:04 PM by old_mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
