    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    It’s possible I have my sub amp gain set just right or I don’t listen to music at low enough leveles to notice that at all

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    Pardon my ignorance when it comes to the ANC system but what exactly is the problem you are having or anticipating? My limited understand of the system is that it generates a sound played through the amp/ speakers to offset or mask road n engine noise. So if that sound is amplified by a...

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    1. I did the design and engineering. See above for contact info for the shop that built. I suggest you contact Kane at High Fidelity Auto Sports of Newington CT 2. The low end from the sub is punchy and solid ! The software flash from the dealer (also see above ) made all the difference in...

    I never noticed what the Active Noise Cancellation does or how it works. How can I even tell if adding the sub did anything to the ANCS?

    Upholstery shop update. My local upholstery shop which is covering this box in black Vinyl with gray piping and white double stick to mimic stock 19 Limited black leather is having some difficulty pulling off the design. What do you guys think of the emblems and their placement ? Too much...

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    Sure! You can buy anything for the right price! Call them up High Fidelity Auto Sport of Newington CT, talk to the owner KANE 860-666-8080. My box was intricate because that's a 12" sub and we needed .85 cubic feet. a 10" or 2 8" subs requires less airspace and doesn't need to go past the...

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    Remote power to turn on the amp did come from the fuse block under the steering column. It was not easy to get to and I cannot tell you the type of fuse tap we used. My installer had it in his junk box. He said it’s the same fuse they had to use in a Ford Flex or something. Attached is a pic...

    Another step closer. Sounds great. Next is the software update and upholstery shop

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    The signal is coming from the stock sub output. So there should be no issue we can foresee with the active noise cancellation system. So far the rest of the HK sound system works with the stock sub disconnected. No resistor required. The active noise cancellation should work as designed...

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    Cost on the 12” sub is $350, labor to build box and install amp $300, upholstery $150 You are welcome to build your own from the dimentions in the pic or call the shop I used. All in it’s a $800 upgrade for me and that’s because I already own the $500+ amp and had 4 gauge etc laying around.

    Here is the box I had upholstered for my 2013 longhorn. That’s a 10w3. .65 cubic feet. The new box will look similar but obviously with limited style piping and stitching.

    Not a chance my friend. no way to get the depth or a box that big, that would be double the size of the box I'm making.

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    In my predecessor truck a 2013 Ram with stock Alpine sub I had very good luck just taking signal from the stock sub wire. The real reason behind that was to retain the stock subwoofer control. I believe it sounded good because it was already crossed over low. I will likely start with that...

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    My goal is more bass and louder high end overall. I’ve decided to have a MDF box custom built for under the passenger back seat. The amp is a old JL 500/1 that will be mounted under the driver side back seat or on the back wall behind the back seat. A 10” would be too boring so I am going...
