This can be done. Try checking Crutchfield. They usually set you up with instructions on how to install what you buy from them.

Thanks, I have finallized on what I will be ordering for my car, 1 8in Sundown Subwoofer, Alpine Amp, Ported box, JL Audio Line converter and Rockford Fostgates install kit
ok so Im confused, do I just tap into my rear speaker's wires for the line converter or run it from the back of the Uconnect radio? Im thinking of doing this myself and possibly adding some sort of sound detonating material to lessen the truck rattles. I have the Alpine system.
Which stereo do you have in the car?ok so Im confused, do I just tap into my rear speaker's wires for the line converter or run it from the back of the Uconnect radio?

Run from your back deck speakers to the line converter.
Did exactly what you're doing now a couple months back.
so we installed the amp and sub today and there was no need for a line converter as the Alpine amp had this built into the amp. Also we tapped into the front driver side speaker and works just fine. The tiny 8in Sundown audio sub, is more than enough for bass, its so awesome now!
Glad it went well. What alpine amp did you use?
Show us a pic of the final install setup OP.
its nothing fancy, but i will take a pic
Looks like you drilled into the trunk floor? I have two 12s in my trunk with velcro on the bottom but the box still slides when I launch hard or hit a corner fast. Wondering if i should bolt the box to the floor similar to what you did here
In my old system with the sub box I had, I used some 1" aluminum L stock to attach the box to the "floor". But I did mine on the seat side of the box so you couldn't see the aluminum brackets as you looked at the box from the trunk...Looks like you drilled into the trunk floor?

yeah it drills into the bottom cover (trunk liner) I used some small L brackets from hardware store that come with small screws. I was facing the same thing, the box would move all over the place. Finally now its sits put.
