Subwoofer added - this car is easy...

[MMC Racing]

I had one of these sitting around new that I bought over a year ago for another vehicle, but never installed..

And one of these:

I also had a 8 gauge install kit. All I needed was a little motivation to actually do something.. I used these Moroso quick disconnects so the subwoofer could be removed from the car easily:

My thoughts:

• Running the power wire through the firewall on the drivers side is very easy. Just remove the battery and then stick a sharp object from inside the car through the grommet
• Under the passenger set is a great place to install the line converter. Convenient since the Bose amp is right there to tap into
• Since the line converter takes such little power, I tapped the power and ground off the Bose amp also for a very easy install
• Running power and signal cables front to back on the car is very easy. Panels remove easy. Wire could be fished to the hatch area without removing the rear seat

I finished it up enough tonight to hear it play, but I still need to do some tuning and tidy up a couple areas. I'll post pictures soon.

These were a little hard to find and were invaluable in quickly installing the components.

That looks great, gives me an idea for my 2010 Mazda5.

Thanks for the info - looks good.

3 weeks ago I installed a Rockford Fosgate P300-10 into my wife's CX-5. I prefer it to the MTX for ease of install and overall sound quality. I highly recommend it at this price point.
