    Too much.
    It's important to note here that 0.60 is a good number....

    I haven't found the stock sub box size anywhere so I had to measure for myself

    Removed some of the ribs to fit the magnet and maximum 4.4 mounting depth

    This fan is .45 amp not to powerfull of a fan but is still over kill. The trick with the fan is to check the freeplay of the blade assembly and see if it will vibrate and make noise when the bass hits. This fan makes no vibration noise and over cools the amp. With the seat down the fan is pretty noisy. But with the seat up you cant hear it

    Took the poly fill out of the box. Tried really hard to tell a difference and it seems on the bass generator that no polyfill was best. Significant improvment over stock. Sounds like there is definitely a sub in the rear now instead of the doors being over whelming. Review mirrors vibrate alot* more then stock! Definitely worth the hassle and if anyone wants to try different subs I reccomend a dual 4 ohm sub that is wired down to 2 ohms. Connect positive to the green and the negative to the red. I am going to but some different high sensitivity subs just for fun to try out and I'll update on here

    No idea how you got the CV sub to fit. Still bottoms out on the back. Just too deep to fit in my truck. 1/4 "gap. I'd need to make a mounting ring for a spacer. Because the front is sloped on the box. Oh well

    @Riotfunk You removed the ribs in the back of the box like the OP? Very interested to see what your findings are with this one. Looking at the OPs pic I that shows screw holes, if the gap is 1/4" or less I wonder if he just pulled the front of the box out with screws and his magnet is bottomed out? That or his magnet looks different then the ones I see online. Is there a cover that you can remove?

    Yeah. There's the big molding ribs to the side that can't be removed without destroying the box. There is literally no way for this to fit. Magnet too deep and too wide, hits the back of the box and that big rib to the right

    Is there a cover on the magnet that can be removed? The OPs magnet looks plain compared to the images of the sub I see online.

    It's off and still doesn't fit. Between the cage and the magnet. Even if it did fit the rear would contact the back anyway making it not ideal

    That stock sub is pitiful looking. 1/2" sheet of plywood and a jigsaw?

    I could, but would've just built a custom box or poured glass and made it. Grabbed this for just a drop in. Doesn't work, not gonna mess with it anymore. Not worth the hassle

    I'm assuming OP just zipped it down with the screws. A shallower sub will fit, this CV will not

    Only way to fit it. But then would hit surround on the oem speaker grill. 4" would be max sub depth I'd put in there

    @Riotfunk Wire that baby up and see if it changes the sound in the other speaker before you send it back!

    Wasn't worth it without being able to mount it. already boxed up and at ups. Would've had have cut and wired new ends in since the plugs were soldered in

    U gotta use foam or rubber between the sub and the box that filled that gap per instructions? I used the thickest black rubber sealing tape I could find at home depot. The box is just plastic so it will give a little too. That was why I put max depth 4.4 cuz literally that's max. I wish you would of herd it. It's weird tho i talked to the cerwin vega mobile dude and he said sealed is best. But when i just put the top screw and the sub was not all the way flat like basically leaving room so in a sence its ported it resonated so much i was gonna see about either mounting it that way with a spacer or porting the box. I tried neither... i did find "the sub" direct replacment. Infinity flex 4d I was gonna buy one today. Maybe someone else has already tried it? It states it was designed exactly for oem fit applications.
