I just installed my JL 10w7 with JL 500/1 amp and just wanted to share some pics. For the sub we tapped in to the stock amp wire harness like one of the threads said to do. The whole install took about 1 1/2 hr to do. Hope you guys like the pics

Sounds really good.. It hits pretty hard but I still need to get the amp adjusted cause I want a tighter bass. W7's are pretty amazing I had the same amp with Kicker 10 L7's and it didn't sound as clean as the w7s.

I plan on installing my JL 1000/1 amp with two 10" Solobaric L7, I hoping it will sound clean.

Ice, you just lost and we haven't even gotten to the starting line!

But, your sound system will make you feel better real quick.

How heavy is that?

Why is it that some members point their subs towards the front and some towards the back. Which way does it actually project and resonante better in the e60? Looking for tight bass, no thunping needed. Would anyone here actually replace subs under seats and add third sub?
