ARB Twin Compressor in Kakadu

[mattperry008 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close mattperry008]

Hi All - I've seen the post on this forum and the great spot to install the ARB Twin compressor, behind the boot wall panels in a 150 series. Unfortunately, my Kakadu has a sub-woofer mounted in that spot, meaning there is no space to install the twin compressor.

Has anybody installed a twin compressor in a 150 Kakadu??

Many thanks,
Matt

Hi. I'm interested to know if removing the sub-woofer to give room for the compressor install is doable?

I have used this position for years in my Facelift GXL and want to do the same thing. My days of Doff Doff are behind me. I do use the compressor heaps on trips.

Anybody got any thoughts?

bump, same issue/question for 2018 VX. Surely it has been done . . .

Hi. I can confirm that removing the subwoofer and attached resonating box causes no issues.
The payoff in slightly less bass for the compressor is a no brainer for me.
If anyone else is doing this mod please be aware that the ARB compressor mounting bracket will fit. It is designed for the old style tank. I did redrill the bracket to suit the new style tank and it came up well. Just more work to get it done.
Good luck.

Done the same myself with my Kakadu 2016. Remove the sub and put both the ARB twin compressor as well as the 4 litre airtank in there.

To compensate for the removed sub, I install a under under seat kickr 10" sub under front passenger seat.

Wife's been very happy since then.
