My Own DIY Budget(?) Subwoofer Install - Beat-Sonic ENA-3T3 + JL Audio CS110TW-TW3 on JBL

[Wanderlust]

This was by no means a professional install. I have a Goose Gear 60% seat delete so this made my options pretty slim. I didn't want an under seat enclosure because that would sacrifice my interior storage, and Taco-Tunes' upcoming rear enclosure seems to come with seat spacers, which I was skeptical on compatibility with the delete kit. I installed Beat-Sonic's ENA 3T3 amplifier for overall sound improvement and RCA sub output. The amp includes a remote cable to connect to an aftermarket amp. I ran the RCA and remote cable underneath the passenger foot well and through the floor trim. I put the sub behind the passenger seat and screwed the amp into the Goose Gear for quick access.

Amp (JD500/1) installed in front of the Goose Gear for easy adjustment and heat dissipation.

The sub sits pretty snug up against the passenger seat. I have plans to bolt it down securely. I rarely have someone sitting in the back. But if I need to make room for another person, I'll just velcro the sub to the top of the Goose Gear temporarily.

Since the Beat-Sonic amp is a 'pre-amp' install. (Before JBL Amp) I had to purchase a separate bass knob to control the subwoofer. I installed the RBC-1 from JL Audio in the center console for easy access.

Overall, a pretty straight-forward install. The hardest part was cable management. The JL sub is more than what I'll ever need and it hits pretty dang hard!

looks good! I'd got full seat delete on that passenger rear at this point, though
