I actually used the speaker level outputs of the Bose amp and ran those into the high level inputs of the 3Sixty.

Thanks for all the help, Darin. I am waiting for some input from Audio Control right now.

I have an "updated" PAC OEM line converter coming for tomorrow (hopefully), that is supposed to let me run full signal into the amp, and keep a more subtle chime on the L/F channel. That way I can turn up the gains, and run the amp like I should.

With the new component in the Stealthbox, maybe I will be happy :dunno:

Worth a shot, for now.

Well, I got the Stealthbox out, and replaced the sub with the Fosgate.

I fixed all the gain settings, etc, and got it ousnding as good as possible. The Fosgate p3 isn't even broke in yet, and puts that JL to shame. Very happy, I was so skeptical of the shallow subs.

I think I will re-install the Bose amp next, and buy a LC6i to run off the hi level outs from the Bose amp.

Hell, I don't know. What a damn mess:

Amp sitting in the console enclosure, where the bose amp was:

Stealthbox is exposed with console removed:

Stealthobox removed, has a W1V2 in it:

Here is the new Shallow Punch P3 next to the JL:

Wired the DVC Punch for 2 ohms and dropped it in:

The Punch retaining ring wont fit in this recess, so I just put some butyl sealant on the flange and sealed it to the enclosure, and threw some washers on the screws:

Got it back in and bolted down, sealed the bolts, set the gains and filters, and let it rock

In the morning I will make up my mind what I want to do with this mess.

One thing is for sure, all the speakers are done, all running 2 ohm, and all sound great!
