Jester Tuned Happy Customer:
This is my first time having any of my cars custom tuned. My friend recommended Jester after an amazing experience he had with Jester with his DE5.
Jester has the best customer service, patient, honest, and has dialed in my CanFlex Tune. My FL5 is stock apart from...
Hey all,
Sorry got tied up with work and have been MIA.
I would like to deliver with my promise of offering up the ring, and additionally, I was able to acquire the OEM Bose subwoofer speaker adapter plugs to make my own oem harness to offer a plug and play upgrade.
I havent read through...
I wanted more subwoofer bass. Given what was available, which was $399 out of my price range, I decided to make my own 8" subwoofer speaker ring spacer to accommodate a subwoofer that I wanted.
As a result, see the pictures below. Mission accomplished.
Knowing there is others like me, I would...
Nice work on this. Will use your write up and links in the near future to fix my lightly curbed (2 wheels) OEM wheels.
I'll follow up then! Cheers!

Revised spacer with recessed OEM mounting holes to allow OEM screws to thread perfectly and creates a flat surface to mount new sub for a perfect seal.
Yeah no clearance issues at all. Box is sealed really well too. I used a rubber adhesive padd around the ring between the sub and speaker spacer to ensure a tight seal. I'll make a couple extra 1/2 in spacers and 1in spacers. If you guys want to try them out let me know. Shoot me a dm.
I've also ran the power wire to the hatch. I'm still not exactly sure where I want to mount the small mono Kicker amp. Ground wire is ready to go too. Likely going to run the bass knob up and going to locate a good remote wire to tap into depending on how the amp reads the bass signal and turns...
LOL...in my opinion The company selling the sub speaker ring adapter and grill is way too expensive.
I 3D printed my plastic 1/2 in sub spacer and used the OEM hardware too. It's perfect and it cost me next to nothing compared to buying the $400 kit. If you guys are interested, I can put some...
Phase 1 upgrade: Swap OEM Bose sub to aftermarket kicker 8 in shallow mount 2ohm DVC that I already had from a previous car.
Results: not enough juice to power 2 ohm DVC 8 in Kicker wired to 1 ohm. Waiting on amp and loc to arrive to complete my goal.
Phase 2 will be complete in the next week...
Nice work guys!
I'm going DVC wired at 1ohm applied via either one of two setups:
1) LC2i pro w/mono Kicker 400.1T
2) Kicker Key 500.1 (built in DSP)
Setup 1 is tried and true, but I'm leaning towards running Kicker Key 500.1 and exploring the possible benefits! (Straight forward wiring and...
