My friend loves bass and she has wanted an upgrade in every vehicle she's had. Until recently, she didn't know the R1S is actually awesome for upgrading. The sub in her vehicle is a standard size 10" sub and the box is quite large. She had an Alpine sub already that fit perfect.
The stock sub is actually a dual 4 ohm coil, thought that was interesting. She used line level inputs into a JL Audio amp. She was also able to find a 12V power on the left side of the trunk with the solid pinkish wire in the picture. Since it switches off with the car, she also used that at the turn on signal for the amp.
Someone helped her to run a remote knob up to the front seat so she can adjust easily. First try, the whole area rattled horribly. She had to put a ton of acoustic mat on everything she could around the sub. That mat fixed it all and now can crank out way more power than what she will want. I'm glad she's finally able to get the upgrade that she has always wanted and she can now enjoy her music to the fullest.
