Looking to add 1 Sundown 15", amp, and assuming LC2? What all might be needed (maybe a second battery as well)? Would look for the future to hold replacing the front/rears as well...on an amp naturally. Much thanks.

What is your objective?
Good clean sound louder than stock volume, or crazy loud sound with the volume to set off car alarms and for your friends to hear you coming 2 blocks away?
The first option can be achieved with your existing battery and alternator. The second option may require a larger alternator and/or a second battery.

With having a system in every car I've ever owned...BASS. Only looking to do like 2,500-3,000watt...so nothing too crazy. But yes, want to see what I can do with this open space (with 3rd row up position). Just not certain on if I need an LC2, some type of custom harness to get a remote trigger from the stock system for LC2 and amp. Already have some 0GA from my last system.

Step 1 complete, box will be sanded down and painted black.
if you want it to sound at least half way decent on the oem system then I would get a lc2 pro or even a higher model so you can fine tune it a bit, a lot of the sound is filtered already
if it is like the k2's then the factory amp should be right there in the left kickpanel

Perfect video for the LC2 Pro:

Think im going to pair with this amp: https://www.down4soundshop.com/down4sound-jp23-v1-5-elite-black-2300w-rms-amplifier/

Wife does antique furniture so asked her opinion....here is the outcome.
Hit it with an orbital sander and used this gel stain product she has...wax on / wax off.
Love how it turned out. Just letting her air out while I wrap up the other above items. Then a good wipe down. Maybe i'll have her use her Wagner to clear coat. #MorningCoffeeGoalsOnLanai

Amp will be mounted under driver side 3rd row seat.
LC2i Pro will be mounted under passenger side 3rd row seat.
Both will be nearly out of sight once installed.
Now to find a proper (hidden) location for the 2nd XP Power Battery. Need to open the side panels in the rear or see if I can mount it anywhere under the hood.
Goal with the system is to be able to "quickly" remove the box if/when needed for vacations or hauling large items.

I’ve had good luck with my jp23 but you will need a secondary battery to get it to full power unless you wire it to 1000watts I can’t turn mine up more then halfway with the radio all the way up or the voltage drops. I’ve done the big 3 but I want to swap to lithium yinlong cells next so I won’t have the voltage drop issues anymore.

So based on this, looks to be the proper location for the remote wire into the LC2i Pro. Already have a remote jump for my cameras...adding in another remote jumper be ok? Will find a more "proper" way to do it vs wrapping around legs and pushing in
.Was looking at the D4S amps, picking up an Orion XTR 2500.1 local for a good deal later today; fits perfectly under the 3rd row seat w/good air flow around it....as I always have the AC turned on for the feet as well as vents. Was running an X15 with SCV-3000D in my F250, but that already had 2 batteries and didnt drop below 11.5 if I recall. But I will be needing a secondary in the AT4.

These quick disconnect connectors may be helpful to you to quickly remove the speaker box.

Thank you sir!
Might need to add similar for the XS Power battery as it doesn't look like I can hide it anywhere due to size.

I have a second battery in the truck that I use as a spare, and that is how I have it connected into the system, so that I can easily connect/disconnect it at any time.

Care to share your setup pics? Not going to be a fan of having the battery in sight, so I think i'll set the sub box on a flat piece of wood and make a open box to drop it in for "quick" removal.
WELL..... not ideal in my opinion, they make fuse tap adapters to connect a wire properly, basicaly it's a fuse holder with a lead soldered on which is much cleanerView attachment 424401

tons of different ones on amazon, not sure what size that is in your photo, gm has decided to use like 5 different kinds now

So running 2 remotes from that fuse would not be an issue? I actually have some of those circuit adapter holders here....apparently got lazy when I was doing my camera install lol.
Perfect fit. Now to mock up a panel to mount it to with short rubber stand offs for shock damper and also air flow under the amp.
no it should be fine, you can piggyback off anything else already on a trigger, all it is looking for is a small voltage signal there is no amp draw per sey.

Those yinlong cell swaps are around the same price as adding a secondary battery and wiring for it. You’ll have better voltage with the lithium for your moneyView attachment 424401

How to Build:
I can laser cut out my own acrylic box for protection.
So once ready to drop into the vehicle, run a + and - from the battery (inline fuses needed?) straight to the lithium box and then straight to the amp?

I’m pretty sure you do away with the battery if I’m not mistaken I’d have to check with my two buddy’s I haven’t actually done this setup yet but a couple of my bass head buddy’s have and had great results. Plus the lithium is supposed to last 10years or so supposedly over a normal battery which might get what 3 years? Before needing to be replaced
