Just wanted to say, thank you! Your tutorials are great and thank you for taking the time to put all of these together for the community.

I mounted it in the factory location. I did have to trim the cover panel a bit because it did press against it and the entire panel would not fit flush. Check out my post about the swap out if you haven't already Factory JBL Amplifier/Sub Replacement

are you replacing all speakers? Crutchfield is very helpful and a good start. I just replaced my JBL system entirely (7 speakers plus sub) and replaced the stock amp.

I highly doubt you will have any wiring going to the back if you did not have an amp or sub already back there. You will need to wire power and RCAs to the AMP back there. The speaker wiring is where it will get tricky. Depending on how much power you are looking, you may need to run speaker...

whatever you do, don't use those connectors like in the post above. Solder the wires together. If you don't know how to solder, please learn and practice. You will save yourself so much headache not dealing with t taps or butt connectors.

The Pioneer is great. It's a good compliment to the rest of the system. I didn't want anything overpowering, but it hits. I think if you stick with the stock enclosure, you would be fine with any reputable 8" sub there.

replaced the factory JBL amp/sub and speakers

Like most of us that have the OEM sub, mine blew and really ruined the music environment of the runner. My goal for replacement was simple. I wanted to keep the OEM look and also add a little power to the system. I first started with replacing the OEM head unit with the Kenwood DMX906S. It's...

It wouldn't be unsafe or inoperable. Just a more uncomfortable, harsher ride since your suspension is not providing the cushioning and damping it once did when the system was sealed.

First thing I would do is recheck the wiring installation. Make sure the harness and connector wires are all connected correctly. Its possible during installation, especially if butt connectors were used, that they may have a loose connection. Check and recheck this with the wiring diagram as...

I should have given more information. I am not keeping the JBL equipment. I've already swapped out the fronts and the headunit. I need a new amp, would just prefer to know how much space i have to work with so i don't have to remove everything, measure, and then buy an amp.

Anyone replace the factory JBL amplifier? My sub has blown and I would like to go ahead and just change both. Goal is to install an amp that fits in the same location. If possible, I'd like to get an idea of how much room there is to work with before disassembly. Has anyone installed an...

Did you get this figured out? I installed the DMX906S recently with no issues so if you have questions let me know

i did the same as hinmo24t but with the ram mount. I can snag a pic if you need. It's a great spot. Just some bolts, washers and nylon nuts.

Yes. I am running the Kenwood DMS906S with the iDatalink ADSMRR & T01 harness. Crutchfield is your friend. I swapped out my fronts with Infinity components. I still need to swap out the stock amp and sub though. My sub blew out and its why i've started this whole process. Anyone know of an AMP...
