Jaguar X Type Stereo Upgrade | SUBWOOFER Build

[@jcracoustics]

What car would you install a sub in? 🧐

[@NosterPL]

In the title you should add jaguar x type, there will be more views 😁

[@MysteriousMatt89]

Extremely well made video for a channel of your size, even got that second camera angle :D I was wondering, since i don't want to sacrifice too much trunk space, would it make sense to put a sub under the rear windshield? (in the trunk there are 2 semi-cutouts)

[@vhospher6463]

This needs more views. Loved it

[@jcracoustics]

Thanks mate, would get more with the volvs for sure haha

[@jaguarrroman]

Great job, my friend! My Jag hasn't got any additional amplifier in the boot, that's why I intend just to change OEM speakers with aftermarket ones and upgrade wiring, maybe moving the rear speakers from doors to the place under the rear windshield. Let's see.

[@jcracoustics]

Thanks! Mine didn't have the additional amp either like the Alpine x-type does. Personally I'd recommend if you're after a more immersive experience keep the door speakers where they are and add a small sub to the boot. You could use the same setup as here splicing into the rear audio cables to get a new amp in for it.

Haha, got to represent 🤙

Fair new to the x type. Currently got a 2002 plate 3.0 V6. Don’t the factory head unit if you have the screen have a sub output that needs to be turned on by computer? Unsure on this? If you click the phone button and menu button together for 5/10 seconds it will come up with the options.

what color is the audio remote cable? behind the Jaguar X-type audio

Great entertaining video with a huge amount of useful information, thanks👍

Thanks Ricky!

How it's sound inside car the subwoofer? I mean,you put into the trunk, which is separated from the rest of the car... You feel/hear the bass intense/good? I have the same car like you, and I want to install a subwoofer in case, like your!

[@jcracoustics]

Yeh it's certainly loud enough! You can if you want it to be really loud fold down one of the back seats but I find it's enough without.

[@Dragoshm2o]

@@jcracoustics Thanks for answering! What do you think if I install without case, only the sub, on the dashboard trunk? It will sounds good or I lose the loud?

[@jcracoustics]

@@Dragoshm2o Always best to design an enclosure so you can design the tuning frequency and make sure things are sturdy and sealed but I haven't tried the method you're explain so can't say for sure!

In my 03 xj8 I got 2 12 kicker cvr on 1200 watts, 4 ds18 6.5 and 2 rockford 6x9 on 2000 watts.

[@jcracoustics]

Nice man sounds real cool, you got any images of it? Sounds like a serious set up.

[@Dragoshm2o]

Hello Sir, how about pass power cable direct from battery to saloon? Thanks a lot!

[@jcracoustics]

Hi, I had it done at the garage/mechanic when my car was in for a service as I knew it would be easy for them and a long job for me to do myself! They didn’t charge me to do it 👍

[@Dragoshm2o]

@@jcracoustics Ahh, okk perfect, so I'll do the same! Thanks

Sick .. I wish I wouldve did a video for mine .. I have 2 15s in the back seat of my 1978 mercedes 300D

nice job man!

[@jcracoustics]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@dammanasad5620]

how do you splice up into speaker wires in a jag

[@jcracoustics]

You can find the wiring manual online and you simply find the colour associated with the L/R rear channels in the back (for me I looked in the pillar next to the front seats). I then used a ratchet wire stripper to expose some of the copper and then soldered another cable to that to run to the rear subs (making sure to insulate with tape or heat shrink at the join).

[@bray_huff3685]

Got you off the group in Facebook I need two 12 inch subs in my Acura legend 1995 Sudan helppp!!!

[@jcracoustics]

Hey bud, thanks for watching. What are you stuck on?

[@bray_huff3685]

@@jcracoustics I bought a new battery but only one click for my starter but I need recommendations for what subs to get as well

[@jcracoustics]

@@bray_huff3685 Well I'd highly recommend the Rockford Fosgate Punch series as that's what I've been using

[@brokenmotorwagen1328]

did you say "splice into..." ? Bye!

[@jcracoustics]

Why's that buddy? Nothing wrong with splicing into audio cables, you might be able to identify a minute voltage drop through an oscilloscope but nothing audible especially when you're talking about the sub 250Hz range.
