How come you didn't tap off of the subwoofer leads?

Infinity BassLink


While not great for those who want to thump everyone around them, this setup greatly enhances what you already have without spending a lot or having to tear your car apart.... plus its removable in minutes if needed and it will work in your next G.


Infinity BassLink Powered subwoofer: 200 watts and a 10" sub at Crutchfield.com

that is a good option.

that's the nice thing about powered subs - easy to keep for your next vehicle. i had a Kicker powered Substation that lived in 4 vehicles. the current Kicker unit in my G37 is from my last car.

Not sure if this will improve the sound or not with the stock Bose Amps... But I might try these soon..

Here is the link:

I really don't want to replace my amps nor place a box in my truck as I use it very often and need the space.
If you go to the Pioneer manual for this speaker, it states "Applicable for Free Air Use" : http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/St...nual020414.pdf

I don't think you are going to find anything that will suit your needs.

Any decent speakers will need a good amp to power them.

I would still get an amp.
