3/16/21 UPDATED Remote Level Control Pics and Bose Amp Closeup.
So... when I upgraded the 2014 to the 2020 - I could not use my old Sub Box as it does not fit into the trunk of the Convertible - even if they were the same size trunk! So... off to figure out what I needed to do to add a little more thump to the trunk! I removed my Pyle Dxi 10" subs and Rockford Fosgate 500W mono amp and made a new box to fit in the trunk under the convertible top.
From this forum I found out that I needed to get a LOC box since the 2020 has a digital signal...(many thanks for that post) so I purchased an Audio Control LC2i and a remote Level Control to assist with this along with a new wiring harness and the Noise Cancelling Microphone adapter from
LLJ Customs in Texas. Here are a few pics of the install - complete with any info you may need should you wish to do this for yourself. I do not have a pic of the Remote Level Unit installed - I will try to get that pic tonight - I placed it just above the Knee Bolster next to the drivers vent - it is out of the way and easily accessible.
Complete Box - everything together.
Wiring Set for the trunk - I made it easy to install/remove in the event we had a long trip and actually needed the space. The left plug is the Audio Input - the right plug is the Power Connect - both are quick Connect/Disconnect.
Whats under the Floor Mat? The Bose Amp on the left - #1 is the Speaker Output - #2 is the ANC Delete - both plug and play - easy to install.
The Box as it sits in the trunk...easy to get to all control adjustments...Speaker input was placed below the carpet (gray wire on left) Power Wire on right goes right to the battery.
Side View - note - the box is sitting below the convertible top support - I believe I made the box ~29" x ~15" x ~7.5".
The gap between the bottom of the convertible top and the top of the sub box - the width of my finger - no impedance issues for the top open/close.
I placed the Remote Level Control Wire through the rear seatbelt loop on the drivers side and then tucked it under the seat. I was also able to easily route it away from the movements of the convertible top. When the seatbelt is in its normal position, you cannot see th ewire at all - and I don't expect anyone to ever sit behind me - so using that belt is a non issue. The wire continues under the seat and under the drivers side of the console.

Not 100% completed - but the wiring looks neat and organized...
Plenty of Clearance...
