And it sounds like you have done this before - not many people are aware of the reverse harness idea.  |
I found a 2-12in sub box made by Q-Logic that has 1.25 cubic ft per sub (divider in the middle) that is 10in deep which is perfect. It's going to leave me about 1.5 inches between the box and the hatch
. The MTX subs I have require 0.75 to 2 cubic ft to perform well. Now I just have to either order it and wait for shipping or find some place that has it locally!
I decided against an eq since all I really wanted was a volume adjustor and a on/off switch for the amp. $30 for a RCA volume control, about 1in x 3/4in with input and output RCAs. So, from the line converter to the input of the volume control, output of volume control to the input of the amp. Good stuff.
And yes, I have done this many times before
On my 2001 Escort that I just traded in on the Durango had the same setup with harnesses. I hate the fact that they cut and solder at car aduio shops. I know its the best way, but it's then moidified and can not go back to origional and looking like nothing was installed.
