Questions & Answers

Do you think this will fit my 2014 jetta vx?

It doesn't matter where the spare tire is located in the trunk, so long as it is inside. I appreciate you asking. Thank you.

Upon buying a 2012 Ford Flex, I noticed that the CV VPA raised the floor by I have mounting hardware concerns, so I'll have to buy the shallow version. ?

I am contacting you regarding this unit, the Cerwin Vega VPSTX12, which is a shallow version of the VPAS12ST from Cerwin Vega. *br>The VPSTX12 provides 4 virtual ports. The VPAS12ST has a depth of 7" while the VPAS12ST has a depth of 6". Please accept my thanks for asking and I hope this information can help you.

Can I use my factory unit for this application if I do not need a line output converter?

As part of your factory unit, do you have a subwoofer? this is the case, you might be able to connect those wires to the CV sub input. Having used it, I was able to achieve my goal. You may need an LOC and to use the low inputs if not.

Is all the necessary wire included in the kit?

The power wire must be fused, the ground wire must be grounded, the RCA wire or speaker wire must be connected and possibly a wire for the auto-on function. You need different types of wires based on how you choose to install them.

It has been a smooth ride so far
5/5

While doing a load of laundry, I managed to install this. The dual 12" subs I had in my trunk took up half the space I needed for a single 12" sub that fits neatly inside my spare tire and under the floorboards of my trunk. In the process of rerouting and tidying up all the wiring that runs from the stereo to the trunk, I also ran all of the wires up to the stereo. All of the wires on the driver's side of this car ran together according to the guy I bought it from. It's a no-no to connect the two wires on opposite sides of the car - your power and audio. In addition, I used my own initiative In the meantime I used leftover flooring underlayment to mount the ground wire instead of the rear seat bolts That's all that's left is to solder and heat shrink the wire connections and cut the threaded rod that holds it all down.

I'm all set to go to Ikea now.

I wanted something for my 300zx that would save space and have good bass
5/5

As I wanted to keep as much trunk space as possible in my 2 seater 300ZX. In order for my Z speakers to sound full, they need some low frequencies. The seat speakers are too weak to fill in the sound under the seat so I did not want to get under them. We don't need to use this for This is something you should know before you begin. Considering that I'm in my late 40s, I was looking for a subwoofer that would perform as well as a subwoofer that was actually underwater. This system sounds complete now that it is well rounded. In the original version, they could not make the carpet lay flat, so they made this shallow version. There is no need to modify this as you can see in the pictures. The carpet lays flat without any modifications. Btw, the only modification done was to shorten the original provided rod. If you want a shorter one, you can either buy one from a hardware store or buy one online. This is a great product and solves the trouble I had for many years with my 300ZX subwoofer.

The results are satisfactory
5/5

It appears to be working well. I have never installed car audio, but it all went smoothly. It is not my intention to shake the house up. The wheel fits very well on my Honda insight 2019, but I do not have a spare installed, and I am not surprised if it wouldn't fit on the spare.

It's impossible for me to express myself
5/5

I have yet to fill my trunk with anything. Even so, it flies around like a rocket. I still have the factory radio, which is nice because this is an incredible product for its class. Then I go into the EQ on the radio and cut out a lot of the bass, so the speakers don't have to work as hard. Instead of concentrating on the high end, they can just concentrate on it. After that, it's just a matter of adding the bass back. It takes the little sub a lot less effort to do the heavy lifting since the door speakers are taking a back seat in terms of bass they can't handle, getting louder before they distort, and working way less diligently. The sound quality has improved significantly. My jaw dropped when I saw how much it did Subaru will debut its Crosstrek 2020 model in the fall of 2019.

Sub woofer with the best value for Even though I still have stock size speakers and a head radio unit, I have definitely noticed an improvement in sound quality
5/5

You will need to move some trim panels in order to gain access to the rear speaker harness, and some trim panels need to be removed to run the power wire to the battery. It is unquestionably noticeable in the vehicle that the sound and bass are better than stock. I intend to purchase more Cerwin-Vega products. You should consider Vega products in the future because they are definitely worth the money. This is a disclaimer as I run a 18" spear tire in my vehicle with the tire cover sticking up about an inch or so I'd say 2's. There is the option to connect a wire signal input from either the head unit or the rear speakers when using the wire harness.
