I just installed a amplifier few weeks ago. Also I got a video of it. You are right is a huge diference in the bass.👍

Good suggestion Adam! I'm on my 2nd Element and I'm gearing up to replace the center woofer like this. Thanks for the tip! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@jfaust97 Haha, my sincere pleasure! Hope you're well, brother.

Do dynamat though the entire can and thank me later

@@Element_lifestyle how is the amp working out?

Thank you. I hope you enjoying the new sub. Having that extra bass is nice 👍

did you need to buy an external amp or did it work right away?

@@Westopia It worked right away, with the stock radio. Sounds great for all kinds of music as well.

You will love it.

Good to know. Thanks

What adhesive did you use to seal it ? Sorry im brand new at all this.

@@michaelvanetten7704 NONE. Just stuffed it it with foam sound deadening.

@@bernincoal1 ty, do you have an example or link you can share?

@@michaelvanetten7704 You can also use fiberglass insulation if you have some laying around.

You will be happy after that.

Hello, yes I did

@@Element_lifestyle where?

Replace it

Hi, I did re installed and it fit perfectly.I Just left out so people can see it in the video.

Is a great upgrade to have

The oem one is 2ohm so I went with the same.

The factory sub is not 2ohm dvc it is single voice coil for a two ohm load. You actually need to dual 4 ohm which will create a 2 ohm load on the amp. The dual two ohm will try to pull 1 ohm.

@@davidstone3780I think a 2ohm will work better than a 4ohm. I read someone else in the comments that they have a rattle and they installed a 4ohm, I installed a 4ohm kicker subwoofer and I get a small rattle. It might be the lose wires. I will try to sound dead the wires and everything that could bounce around and post an update. It’s quite odd because websites like crutchfield recommend 4ohm

I was wrong it is a dual 2 ohm and the factory amp is actually 6 channel so a 2 ohm load on each coil to the amp. Thanks.

I agree 😅

Yes it is, just buy the subwoofer from an EX ,remove the cover you got in the Lx and run it to an aftermarket amp

@@Element_lifestyle thank you.

I will stick with an Element or a Tacoma. Element engines and Tacomas engine are one of the greatest engines , they can Last so many miles and very reliable. It depends of your dad necessities with the vehicle he can choose between either one. I think if you just having the subwoofer in the center , just any amp will be a huge diference in bass quality. There is so many amps in the market and some will defenitly will better. But as long is an aftermarket you will notice a big change. I hope your dad decide whats the best for him. I kind of stick away from new cars for now.

@@Element_lifestyle You're right about that! I own an 05 element and rarely maintain it yet it still lasted me about 246k. The engine mount wore off and the crankshaft was affected...did I ever fix it? Nope, drove it as is for another 50k before I sold it for $500 bucks. The Tacoma is a different story since that is my dad's favorite truck and I didn't want to mistreat it. Been taking care of it and at 239k its still my daily driver and go to road trip truck. I bought my dad a 2019 and already had issue with engine gasket failing at 30k. I was pissed at Toyota...the new trucks are much more fragile than the older trucks which was built more like a tank.

@@Element_lifestyle yea my dad ended up keeping it and we’re planning on getting a radio

I doesn’t, but the sub will work 10 times better with an aftermarket amp

2004 , some element has not sub if they are the LX model , my is an ex

Hi, yes i did. I got another detail video How to Install it.

@@Element_lifestyle what video is it? Looking to install my subwoofer

I cant find the video where you show how to remove the stock spade connectors in order to use the Kicker terminals , please help, send the link

Is the OEM floor mat. Hard to find it new but you can check out in eBay or local marketplace posts

Your welcome. I will go with the same size sub

I got not rattle after installing mine it seat flush but I made some new hola for it. Some people having this troubles they uso some kind of tape to seal and have now vibration

@@Element_lifestyle I decided to unscrew the “box” and upon examining I discovered that it actually had a port inside that went from the bottom to the right side and out the upper back. I chose the 4 Ohm version of this Kicker woofer so I’m not sure if that would make a difference in rattle. My theory is that the port may not be large enough for the amount of pressure the sub generates 🤷‍♂️

@@MokitoshiCatekamotohow sealing the port worked for you? I got the 4 ohm version and it rattled as well. I tried to put acoustic foam all around it and even inside the port very stuffed. I even tried to put only two connectors instead of the all 4 around and will still rattle. My theory is that the subwoofer is underpowered or maybe is defective. I will get an skar subwoofer 2ohm hoping the one doesn’t rattle. I even slightly press the subwoofer to see if it will help and it kinda reduce the rattle

​@@adrenalinemadness3340 @MokitoshiCatekamoto from my understanding you're going to want to get the dual 2ohm. He shows the box it came with, check if it's the same one you have

It be best to install a small aftermarket amplifier rated for the kicker subwoofer. The speaker is just a woofer and its only connected to the headunit, notice how after the install of the subwoofer there was any excursions visible. This kicker speaker is a subwoofer and can handle greater wattage producing more excursions and better noise (bass). Yea, for better results buy a small amplifier for it.

Yes , exactly that way.

@@Element_lifestyle cut off the clips and insert the wires according to the color?

@@kongmengchar6418 yes. Also before installing the screw back to the sub. Make sure to test it just to check all is good. 👍

I scored a set from a junkyard. Was lucky as Honda has discontinued the mats. You might be able to pick-up a set on Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, etc. but be prepared to pay a premium as pretty much all Element owners are on the hunt for them. After you get the mats then you'll need to find the hooks that secure them in place. Good luck... I haven't been able to find any, and have been toying with the idea of fabricating my own.

Hi, floor mats is are an oem item. Only place to get it is used in offer up, ebay ,Facebook market place or junk a car.

To be honest, I had a set of oem mats in the past that wore out fairly quickly under light to moderate use. I don't think Honda used the most durable material as the rubber is a bit on the soft side. I had success with a mat set I purchased at Walmart that let you trim to fit all makes and models. They had a pattern for the Element on their website and they ended up lasting for the entire time I owned the vehicle. Another option would be to go with a high quality brand like Weathertech, but in my opinion they're overpriced for what you get.

Yes it is a big difference, and thats even using the stock amp. Future plans is to install an external amp which even give better bass power. So far happy with it.

Is the Eonon android detachable stereo. Also I have a video of the install.

I do have a video when I wired this subwoofer to the oem amplifier

The orange one is 04 and the silver one is 05 both awd

6.75 inches

I an looking forward to install that

I have one posted in my videos but also I’ll be posting another one soon😎👍

@@Element_lifestyle Great! I'm also waiting for part 2 of the engine mount video. I installed the Aerogenics drop kit and I'm not sure I reinstalled the mount above the transmission correctly 😬
