Awhile ago I replaced my stock woofer cause it was basically messed up. After numerous installs on my Cruiser I was ready to just get something small that could get some bass that equalizes with the rest of the music(i'm not into the boom).
Installing the six inch drop-in sub was easy. Way easier then other installs I have done. I first removed the plastic paneling in back. Then I removed the three bolts and cut the wires an inch or so that connects the woofer.
I removed the woofer and dropped in the JL. I drilled some holes in the stock housing and bolted the JL in.
There should be two wires still in your Cruiser. I think they were green and red, and green and black. I extended them to give a loop and hooked the negative to the negative, and positive to the positive.
I tested it(make sure it works, cause getting everything done and finding it doesn't work sucks), then bolted everything in place. No power and no real difference IMO.
After awhile I decided to seal the sub outer rim to the plastic to give it a cleaner sound. I still didn't notice any major difference.
Here is the old one(can pretty tell what condition it was in. I made the hole in the center.) with the JL installed.
Here is the JL after I bolted everything in place before I put the cover back on.....
Also, I want to toy around with using a 200 watt amp and putting an 8" JL 8W7 where the stock amp and current JL is.......
