04 250 cc stereo installed yesterday...

I put four 8" kicker solobaric L7's behind my rear seat and they quake!!! I had the installer mount my kicker 1200w amp and stinger capacitor under the driver side rear seat. The amp and capacitor is located inside the seat on the underside so i could still use my cargo fold out trays when the seat is folded up. So when you fold my rear seat up you can see my amp and capacitor mounted on the seat sunk in. I know a lot of people want to know how to get bass in a 2004 cc. The install is clean and looks factory when the seat is down. I had to remove those big black trays and jack behind the seat to make room for the box. (didnt need it since i've got a 6.5" lift with 37"'s).

Sorry no pics, no camera

Total was $3000 bucks, i know its alot but it also included a alarm w/ remote start. I'm real happy with it!!!

man I've gotta get some bass in mine, I've got a 8" Bazooka tube self amped sitting in the store room that I had under my ex cab seat in my F-150, I'd like to stuff it in behind the seat, and I might be able to if I pull the seat out, just haven't tackled it yet. It's not the best bass, but it's free for now, so maybe I'll try thie weekend.

I installed a 6" bazooka behind my back seat, and it does Ok. It was also self powered (85 watts), $20 off of Ebay. It barely fits, I can't imagin how an 8" would fit back there. I had to unbolt the seat to get it back there, and it rubs the seat back, and cab bottom/back. At least it is held "securely"!

I have 2 10" L7's I kept out of my old truck and there is no possible way they will fit behind my seat without moving it forward.
I wanna get rid of them and get something smaller and not as crazy. Those L7's are pounders thats for sure.

3K for it all? Not bad but I am a bargan shopper and like to do my own install and junk but sounds like a really nice setup!

I am assuming you don't have the power rear window on the CC?

No no power rear window. And i didn't have to move my seat foward.

The install is so clean, and the bass is great.

Well I pulled out my back seat and put my 8" Bazooka tube in on the passenger side, then put my seat back in, it barely fit, but it is definately secure and snug, it sounds pretty decent, especially since it was free. I would like to have a little something more, but don't feel like fooling with it right now. I might see if I can pick up another 8' Bazooka cheap on ebay and put it on the driver's side.

For those that are running the stock head unit, how are you getting the signal to the amp? Running from the rear speaker wires? Does the Head have RCA outs on it? I want to put in some subs too but don't know how to get the signal input.

I used a SNI-15 from my right rear speaker to get the signal to my amp via RCA cables

Duksrule,
You'd have to get a line output converter or high level to low level converter for it to work. Just taps into you rear speaker wires...

Powered Bazooka tubes have both high and low level inputs available. I tapped off the rear speaker wires at the speakers into the high level inputs. While I was tapping the wires, I also replaced the rear speakers (front as well) with Infinity 2-way 6x8 reference series. These are nice! The tweeter is angled and can be rotated to direct the high frequencies in whatever direction is appropriate for the installation.
