That's interesting, since the owners manual for the CV lists it as an 11.3" sub. are they putting two 5.5" drivers in it and just giving us the total area, I wonder?
No idea on the speaker wires, but they'd have to be accessible by removing the trim for the B-pillars, as that's where they'd have to go if they're coming into the rear doors.
Found this helpful video just now about the firewall/power line:
Yup, that's where my JB4 cable passes through the firewall.
sorry,
yea as far as power, yup that's where i run LOTS cables (even have the driver front 3/8" air line through that grommet, lol)Yup, that's where my JB4 cable passes through the firewall.
Oh, and the other thing I just thought of: where to run the cable for the remote, and where to mount it in the car? I suppose one could just set it up and then leave it in the trunk, but having the adjustable bass level might come in handy sometimes.
You say that, but in my mind your way makes more sense, since it doesn't require as much trim removal, on both sides of the car. And unless I'm mistaken, there's no reason one couldn't install the capacitors/bass blockers under the dash as well, right? That's probably the route I'll take.
I saw that, and thought you'd taken it apart to see what's inside.

Now all I need is wiring diagram, so I'll know which wires to tap...
Ok, hopefully this is the last of the idiot questions before I make a decision and start sourcing the parts: what cutoff frequency would you recommend when using the factory door speakers? The CV's control has that dial from 50-150, so I would think 150 would be ideal, right? I'm also assuming all 4 should be bass-blocked.

The door speakers may get replaced at a later date (because I know how gateway drugs work), but if that does happen, we'll worry about the particulars then.
Thanks again for all of your advice!
Don't be a fool like me and source the wrong power cable (CCA)! The Cerwin Vega instruction manual states, in all caps, to never use a CCA wiring kit.Ok, hopefully this is the last of the idiot questions before I make a decision and start sourcing the parts: what cutoff frequency would you recommend when using the factory door speakers?
