ravishingrocket Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Is there any such thing as adapter rings to increase the diameter mounting of a sub? I bought a 8" kicker sub to replace the stocker in the stock box, but the mounting diameter is 1" smaller than the stock sub. I see adapter rings to increase the mounting depth, but nothing in regards to diameter Edited June 4, 2013 by ravishingrocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 You won't be happy with the kicker. Just exchange it for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a kicker product before. My last sub was a pioneer. I've looked at many 8" subs and none appear to have a diameter large enuf to be a direct swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 It just is too midbass-y. Sounds weirdly hollow. My Boston sub was a direct fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'd agree with Dingo. You can make a mounting ring to fit your sub in a bigger opening, or build something to extend it far enough out to make it fit a smaller opening. I did it with my brother's door speakers. Try Sundown or SSA. Of the budget, factory-made subs, I like Alpine and have found that JL's lower end subs are budget-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Wanna, none of the subs you named will fit the depth of the stock box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabang Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 JL has a shallow, as well as a W0 series. Sundown caries an E and SD line. Unless I'm really unaware of how little room there is there. I know I was looking at a Crescendo midbass driver at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Only about 3.5" if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_edge Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 What do you guys think of just putting in a Kicker Hideaway where the factory sub goes? I checked one out at best buy and the bass was surprisingly good and the reviews are very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 JL has two thin subs. 13TW5 which is a 13" thin sub and the 10TW3 which is a 10" based on the regular W3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits the same as the kicker. All mounting points are 1 inch apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Wtf? Something isn't right. Mine was a direct swap as far as diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingrocket Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Yea my box looks exactly like that, but when I ran the part number on the back, it came up with the Lincoln 9" THX enclosure Edited June 12, 2013 by ravishingrocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
