Ok I’m pretty Sure I wanna do the whole “Add a Group 31 lithium” battery & separate 12 v trickle charger route. Seems like that Route is more Fool proof then Adding a 2nd DC converter & then keeping your fingers crossed your not bouncing off the Amperage limitations of the DC converter. I could see if you were gonna play for Hrs at at time them tapping into my cars giant pack voltage would come in handy. Who knows if that’s the case I can always add a Dc converter to keep the 12v stereo battery charged. The thing a Stereo system can do to a converter is Keep spiking the Current. Example each time the bass Hits it could/would create a draw. I’m not sure if the DC converter was designed to work like that I don’t know enough about them? Adding a 12v battery acts like a shock absorber. When the stereo system would draw current the 12 Battery would answer the call NOT the DC converter, the Stereo battery would take the beating ---

Hmm. Now does your car already have a 12v battery under the dash? I remember a recall that included installing one. Or did you remove it as part of your mods? Just thinking if you replaced the existing one with a larger one, there’s your shock absorber. Dc converter would then be your trickle charger. 🤷‍♂️ ---

My car has No 12v battery it along with the DC converter they both were removed as a part of my Mods. My car gets its 12v power from The Delta Q charger with the built in DC converter. So you can see Now why I’m eager to get away from using my car’s 12v power from the charger. ---

I wanted to Run the Wetsounds 10 inch Sub but it’s to Tall. So that would leave me to run the 8inch and I don’t think that 1 8 is gonna do it for me so was think I would run 2 Wetsounds Stealth Self powered subs. Dam they want their money for these . $799 Each new. So when you add up 2 of these we are into to of them with tax at almost $1800. That’s a Hell No! So I was just trying to be lazy and not build a custom box so I’m gonna start Checking FB marketplace, for a Big amp and see what I can come up with. Right now I’m thinking 4-10’s with a 1000- Watt amp 🙂 ---

I have this picture in my head of some punk kid who is overdriving their stock stereo in their in their clapped out accura with a 0 degree carbon fauxber wing, 3 different color body pannels, a loose front clip, an $29 bumble bee exhaust tip. And then Grant pulls up. They laugh at the old man in his “golf cart”… The light changes and 4 x10" subs and bonus round… electric motors can hit 100% torque instantly. … shyt gets real. Fast ---

So I decided to make a Mount on the Steering wheel that will Use magnets to hold the remote on the steering wheel. ![IMG_3837](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/d/5/d5702b9410cee6a0461f650d30a09d54bff38910.jpeg) ![IMG_3836](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/3/a/3a708cbe769094ba7be910aa5ace3003a0c80244.jpeg) ---

Now back to the subs. Seems like there’s quite a trend with people using smaller SUB drivers. When I see smaller. 6.5 & 8 inch. Quite a lot of impressive small drivers on the market. Trying to zero down on what to use. My normal approach to Bass is a JL 12W-7 with a Big Ass 2400 watt amp. 🙂 but with using a small battery pack I cant do that. So I’m scratching my Head what sub/Amp combo can I come up with that will work with a Smaller battery pack? Plenty of options when Battery power is Not a problem but your options shrink when 12v power is limited. makes me think I may need to go down the DC converter option. I have seen some cool builds with 6 and 8 inch subs in a PVC tube. Kinda like a 80’s Bazooka sub system! What I was originally thinking was a 2 or 4 sub system that looked like what you see under the seat of a king cab truck. ![IMG_3838](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/1/9/190c1f055d64dda54b379ad98abe340eeb0481dc.jpeg) ---

A bazooka? Fvck… that brings road rage to a whole new level of “Cut me off, will you?” Nothing to see here, move along… just a drive by rocketing… No, this not a diaorama for national Beruit day… Btw, anyone who finds an index finger, yeah, we’re still looking. It may have landed in Vacaville though… ---

So I thought I was Picking up a Wetsounds 8inch sub but it turned out to be a 10! So I couldn’t say no and just picked it up anyways. Well here is my situation The Sub in its box is like 13 inch tall & the bottoms of the rear seats are 10inch. Option #1. Leave it where it sits and rock it. Option # 2 raise up the rear seats with a spacer 2 inches so the sub can slide under the rear seats. Option# 3 sell it and buy 2 of the Wetsounds 8inch subs ![IMG_3884](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/6/1/6124fd3942ab935f8ca0da76caf3306de16dbac6.jpeg) ![IMG_3885](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/d/0/d03a050d06832a17b38b6b02475f6d74d4b76858.jpeg) ![IMG_3886](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/e/b/ebca0a53ab7ae69ef66c5ea6ac8ceac8b597ed28.jpeg) ---

How does it sound? Make a cover for the top and cut some holes. Turn it into a cup holder. Your drinks can be “shaken, not stirred”. Keep an eye out for two 8 in. ---

I dont have the Sub hooked up yet. So I don’t know how it sounds. I did take the sub out and took a look inside. It’s a very well built strong Roto Mold plastic box with Polly fill and a Amp the sub is very Beefy with a Big Magnet, the Power cord coming off the back is very thick, ---

Well Opton #2 is OUT. To raise up the rear seats 3 inches will have normal height people touching in the back. I didn’t realize it, but the rear seats are already higher than the front from the factory. ---

Stadium seating? Yeah, I was kinda thinking that might be the case. I figured you only hauled around the kids or you have only short friends. Cut a hole in the roof and bubble top?
