Cerwin-Vega Spare Tire Subwoofer Install In My 2022 BRZ 🔊 

I have the non-shallow version of this in my K5. I had the base system and it made a huge difference in the sound without having to give up any trunk space for my family hauler.

By far the cleanest and the most classy when in comes to upgrades 2nd gen brz RU-vidr

Maaaan! Thanks for the video! Adapter tip saved me a lot of time! I don't need to remove dash panel now - as I know where the stock amp, and I can see on adapter's pictures where the REM is! ;) I appreciate!

I got mines in a maxima and it’s okay with Bose system. It does add a great deal of bases inside the car. I did sound proof my truck. After a year of use, it’s still runs good but I have just upgrade the full system to focal flax Evo 3 way front stage, dsp, epic center and Focal Flax Evo coaxial in the rear deck with two 1O flax subs. I would recommend the cerwin Vega for small bass upgrades to any factory radio.

Really just wanted to be your 900th subscriber!!!! Best of luck!!

Solid video dude. Just ordered this and should be here by my birthday this weekend. Great option for keeping the trunk clean while adding a bit of bump to the car.

I've always wondered how those subwoofers sound. Maybe you could do a before and after from the driver seat since you can unplug it. Also I didn't see a inline fuse for the hot wire. Maybe I missed it. Anyway nice video. Car looks awesome too.

Would've liked to have seen how you actually ran the cable from the sub to the battery. My main concern is how to do that.

Keep the vids coming! Yeah before and after def!!!!

Super smart idea and great video dude

Nice ! Kept the trunk space too .

Great step by step video my man… So this adapter will work with my 2023 gr86 premium?

Great video just made sure your ground is touching bear metal bc sometimes they have paint and you want to scratch it away so get a really good ground

I bought the same subwoofer and the instructions say a 4 gauge wire but your link is for a 6 gauge. Idk much about speakers is that fine? Also great work on the video! (Edit: I have a 2015 frs everything will work the same correct?)

Can you tell me about running the power wire from the battery back to the trunk? Did you need to take any plastic panels off, or were you able to just push the wire under the trim/carpet ?

I have a Mazda 6 sedan and want to install this one. As it is a sedan and the back sit “do not allow” the bass to go into the cabin as much as a hatch, do you think it is a good idea ? Will I be able to have some noticeable difference in the bass ?? (Sorry for my bad English )

I have a 2023 GR 86 premium which has the external amp like your limited BRZ, should be the same. I used the adapter you referenced from E bay. I used The JBL sound hub instead. Great step by step BTW.. Any time the signal wire is connected, my sub is powered on. Even if the ignition is completely off. If I disconnect it, the sub turns off. It seems like the harness adapter has me tapping in to a constant voltage source, not one that is only on with the radio. Idk why there would ever be power going anywhere with the ignition off. I’m baffled. Any suggestions. I was thrilled how great it made my system sound until I cut the ignition off, and the remote, and power lights stayed on.I had to just pull the adapter from my amp and plug the factory plug back in for now, as it will kill my battery..Appreciate any suggestions .. anyone here have a similar experience?

I clicked the ebay link for the amp adapter and I do not see it listing the 2022 GR86 or BRZ. I just wanted to check to make sure I was looking at the right page. I was hoping to put in a rockford fosgate p300 amplifed subwoofer and in my other cars, I have tied into the speaker wires but this way is more cleaner using the rca cables. Just wanted to make sure I was looking at the right one. Thanks

Excellent vid. Thank you. Now I'm wondering how this is going to go with the full size spare that will come with mine. To be determined...

Have you heard anyone with the JBL version of this same thing? I'd be curious how you think your CV compares to the JBL? And/or could you tell me if you'd rank it as good as a more standard 10-12" subwoofer (standard box style), or is it less bass-y?

Hey man I installed everything you put in your link and the sub runs great! I was wondering if you have had an issue with it cutting out after about an hour of running. The protection light comes on and its super hot to touch. About 60% gain on my settings. Would appreciate feedback!

So you’re using the factory amp I thought a mono amp was needed for the subwoofer

I have a question Please... I haven't bought the car yet I'm from Israel And it will only arrive in 2023. Then of course I will buy it. I would like to upgrade the sound system. The question is whether the adapter that you recommend can connect to a four-channel amplifier Because I want to connect a subwoofer and 2 Twitter And I'll put them on the dashboard. Thanks in for the answer

Yoo my brz came with tire patch kit and a air compressor. I’m confused! 😭

Curious how long your sub amp stays powered on after the car is turned off with this ebay connector?

Hi- I see the spot, from the engine bay side on the firewall, behind the battery for the power cable . Where exactly is that hole located from inside the vehicle and do you have to remove any trim or panels to access it?

Thank you for your review

Do you get a thump when you turn it off?

Will you be replacing the inside speakers as well i heard they weren’t the greatest? 😅

Could you record a quick video of it playing from inside the car?

Hi, by any chance do you know if this setup would work with a 2022 GR86 that has no spare tire? Car is only equipped with air canisters to inflate tire in case of flat.

Which firewall grommet did you run your power cable through? The big one that already has a cable bundle running through it or the small, unused one several inches toward the center of the car? Thanks.

I have a BRZ premium on the way. I don't think it has an amp in the trunk to plug into. do they make a powered sub?

Wrong link for the adapter😞

Your car came with a spare??

Did you need to access the back of the head unit at all?

Yoo that subaru windshield shade..amazon or dealership:? i need it

How is it while driving?

Where do you buy the bolt to hold it in place?

Will the non shallow version fit back there as well?

Nice video. If you look at the Cerwin Vega vid for installing this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jmLU5lirtlE.html - notice the post they have going through the sub at the 1:08 mark. WTF is the point of making a shallow subwoofer and then putting a post through it that sticks up an additional 2+ inches? Can someone explain what's going on there? From looking at what you did, that piece appears to be unneeded and you can just use the bolt by itself. Did the washer come with the bolt and wing nut or did you have to add that ?

Sup woofer

Should've sacrifice some trunk space for better sounding and deeper bass. Doesn't really sound good
