Getting a new stereo and exploring the options for placing a sub are in the boot or under the front seat/s.

 

Just to let you know, I have a convertible that has a solid bulkhead between the seats and the boot, I will be running component speakers in the doors. The rear does not speakers and it will be fed by 160w genesis amps.

 

Anyone fitted a sub under the seat and know which model/s might fit?

Mark I think you will struggle to get a decent amp to fit under the seat,why not a boot install?

The boot install would be completely cut off from the front with solid metal, no parcel shelf, and I don't want a big install in the boot to compensate for that.

 

The amps are not a problem I can put them in the boot, and run the wiring back and forth!

 

I was thinking of something similiar to this but without the amp built in!!

Mark IMHO dont even bother with those they dont sound very good at all

Cheers guys, will have a think, why does my ice fella go on hols for a month when I need him :rant:

Having a Sub under the front seats will be an intresting car ride, it will make you feel like your suffering with piles wo'nt it???? LOL specialy a couple of 12" Subs listening to Eminem.

one of the recent set of pioneer subs are really flat - might be worth a look? afaik the box size has to be spot on with them though.

I have a big long sandwich under my seat I think. Probably not what you mean? I'm not too hot on all the jargon.

Without seeing pics of the bulkhead I may be talking crap but why not fabricate the woofer direct into the bulkhead and maybe go for a neon look to it as that would look pretty good sat direct behind ur seats.

I had an MK2 MR2 (similar cabin layout to the convertible) with a sub mounted under the driver seat. Sounded great! Maybe speak to the MR2 guys to find out if they've got any recommendations Mark...
