Suggestions for Subwoofer Placement
I'm looking for some advice/suggestions on possible places to install a sub. I have a 2002 P5 and have already replaced the factory head unit with an Alpine unit. The improvement in sound was amazing just doing that, even with the factory speakers still in place. It would be nice to have a little better bass though. I'm not looking for pounding sound that can be heard for miles, just good, clean sound. However, I don't want to give up any cargo space in the hatch, so I'm looking for ideas on where to install a sub and still have use of the hatch.
Thanks. |
A single ten could help out alot and still leave space. You may want to go with something like the Infinity Basslink that has an amp built in so you do not have to take up anymore space with an amplifier. Bazooka tube may help but I think the Basslink sounds better and gets a little deeper. We installed one under the ext. cab bench seat of a Chevy Fullsize Truck and it sounded great. Also you can mount it horizontal or vertical for more space.

if you already have an amp in the car...and you are just adding the sub....you could try out a JL AUDIO Powerwedge, mine is a 10"....they fit nicely in the back of a p5 right up against the back of the seats and they take up very little room.....I have one in mine and it really dosn't take up much space.....

In the car is the best place for a sub :D

here is a idea for you. mount the amp(w/cap) somewhere out of the way(like under a seat) then in the rear, but a banana connection on one side of the paneling and run a cable from that connectino to the box, this way if you need to take it out to haul something, you unplug one thing, and boom, its gone.

Originally posted by JAC I'm planing to do the same thing, I want to have a great sound system but I also want to have my cargo room available for when I need to use it. -SirNuke, how did you attach the enclosure? velcro? |
my setup is pretty simillar to sir nuke's
except by sub box is the same width as the small side of the rear seats... so you can fold down the larger side without taking out the sub... it's only a JL 10" but has plenty of boom etc... http://images.cardomain.com/installs...335_6_full.jpg my amp is also under the front seat... there's heaps of room under there... http://images.cardomain.com/installs...335_5_full.jpg |

this is exactly how my setup will be as soon as i get enough money, but right above the box i will have a female banana connector so i can take the sub out and have no wires to mess with |
Hey, thanks much for the suggestions. This is great. I really appreciate the photos too. Nothing better than being able to see what the installation looks like!!
I especially like the idea of being able to quickly disconnect the sub for those times when I need the entire cargo area. Much appreciated! |

Is that the tripple 6" ported box?
You should here 4 8W3s in a Hatch off a 500/1. It a religious experience! |
Yup
