2012 focus with some bump

Recommended Posts

So to get things going I used to run 2 sa12 on a bc2000 in my 04 cavalier.. Sold car with subs went about 5 years without any subwoofer. Got into bikes mostly other week was browsing craigslist for some cheap setup to throw in the focus well ended up coming across the post about ssa opening up in norwood he'll that's 5 min from me so I headed on down.

That's where I met the man Mark Lafountain and shit just fell into place I foolishly bought a dcon and sealed kaotic 10 box from him only to want more a couple days later.

At this point I was using loc tapped into the front speakers ., WASTE OF TIME stock unit eq out the bass..

Mark said when he heard it something doesn't sound right and suggested I run a different input signal so I did so direct from my phone big difference ..so at that point I decided to change out the head unit .. However a day or so later I wanted more .....

Keeping in touch and talking to mark he said he had a xcon that needed a recone in the back I jumped on that deal although hesitant as I was new to reconing a sub .. One night of YouTube videos and I was sure it was going to be easy .. He set me up with a new 10" basket stickers wire the works :) awesome guy can't say enough a out the service I got.

Took it home with a couple borrowed tools from him I got it going, let it sit overnight next day my prefab 2ft box 32hz showed up I free aired the sub all was good threw it in the box ans holy shit she bumps.... Clean tight musical however it gets down !!! I'm running an apcl1000d at .5 ohm yellow top battery and 1/0 wire. And she hits hard.. Couldn't be happier next will be big 3 then maybe later a bigger amp.

I too have a 2012 Ford Focus. 

 

Bit of advice. With your LOC, you want to wire into the rear speakers. The front speakers have terrible fall off below 38hz, and the bass between 38-42hz is completely gone. No output whatsoever. 

Not that it's important now since you upgraded the HU, but just so you know
