With the limited space in the Mercedes R230 SL I show you how you can keep the maximum space but still add huge bass to your car with the huge 13" JL 13TW 5.3 Shallow mount sub. I explain how the sub produces different bass in different parts of the car and my preference on where best to place it. The video shows how to make the perfect size box of 0.8ft³ or 22L that is needed for the huge JL 13TW 5.3 Shallow mount subwoofer, fully carpeted and installed. I also show how to connect to the existing wiring for the sub and where to mount the amplifier. Lastly a quick look at some JL Tweeters I installed too to lift the treble in the front and how to connect them. Items in video: 13" JL 13TW 5.3 Shallow mount sub. Custom home made sub box: 0.8ft³ 15mm MDF wood, PVA Glue and wood screws (pre-drill holes).

Subwoofer Box:
Front face 635mm x 365mm chamfered corners 130mm sides (100mm if assembly inside front and back face)
Subwoofer speaker box grey felt cloth + spray adhesive.

Cracking work

I thought nothing of doing custom installs myself 30 years ago and enjoyed doing it. The thing that puts me off these days is that I find it difficult removing the trim panels on modern cars.

A bag full of spare clips helps!
