Since we're on the subject of Kicker boxes etc. I have an old Kicker SS12 box (2-12's w/horns & tweets) sitting out in my garage.
Anybody know any info....is it worth anything??
(pretty old school by today's design) I did a web search but came up w/squat.
BTW, Adam... nice radio/head unit... should look nice in your HHR!

LOL... I had a feeling it wasn't worth much... it was a nice box "back in the day". (like 15yrs ago)It would be nice just to find a use for it since it's just taking up space out in my garage. (heck, I keep forgetting it's out there)
LOL is right... the shipping would cost more than the box is worth.

Hey Jaydogg-could you post a few pictures of how you ran the wires? Did you need to make a hole coming out of the spare tire compartment?
I retire Friday then can devote some time into my baby (HHR, not my actual kids).

i will take some pics today once it is done. like most have said this is the easiest car i have worked on. once you get the rcas to the back there is a little tunnel under the cubby holes that they can pass threw. i was shocked when i found this out. if im not mistaken this tunnel is between both of them. i started feeling around on it until i found the hole, then when my fingers touched from both side i knew i had it.

It's all about alignment...box, power, tuning, etc.
P.S.- may want to look into the CVX's...will work just as well as L7's and don't require as large of an enclosure as the L7's do

Awesome read

Agreed!!!
line out converters sound like ass
