custom subwoofer
I recently did an upgrade on my stereo in my 03 Touring and thought I would share some info. First I wanted to add a sub but didn't want something too big, just enough to fill in the bottom of my music. I found a guy on Ebay who makes custom sub enclosures. He sells on that fits under the front seat(either side) and has an 8 inch Kicker CompVT driver. He sells it with or without an amp and wiring kit. His Ebay ID is Rodneyt74. I was amazed at how much thump this little sub puts out. Its perfect for a vehicle this size. I can't imagine you guys with 2 15's in the back!! I think the price is not too awful bad either $167.00 without the amp and wiring. I bought the whole kit with an amp and wiring kit. It came with a Kicker ZX200.2 amp so it is good quality stuff not some cheap junk. It was $299.00 for the loaded box, amp and wiring kit. I also went with Infinity Kappa 6 3/4 components in the from doors. I did alot of research before I bought. Crutchfield priced them at @$249.00 and said they would not fit the PT Cruiser. I found them on Amazon for $126.00 including shipping and Amazons fit selector said they would fit. They fit fine with the included Chrysler 3 hole adapter ring. Without the ring they just hit the very bottom of the window, with the ring there was just enough clearence for the glass. For the rear pillars I went with Infinity Kappa 6x8 two ways. Again crutchfield wanted $139.00 and I found them on Amazon for $74.00 including shipping. I powered the fron and rear with an Infinity reference 475a amp that pushes 90 watts x 4 at 2 ohms. I have a Pioneer DEH-P7800MP head unit that has an onboard 16 band equilizer and adjustable crossovers for the front, rear, and sub outputs as well as adjustable BBE circuitry. Lastly I added a 2 farad digital capacitor to keep the lights from dimming and to take some of the strain off the charging system. Over all I have a really clean sounding system with areally good bass thump and I saved a bundle by shopping around and not just ordering from Crutchfield.
