JBL Subwoofer

[TacoXpo]

I am contemplating removing the sub and putting two batteries in it's place - Basically getting the stock one out of the engine bay and having a third (or move the second from it's current position behind the jump seat). I have a sub under each seat on the Bimmer and was thinking I would like to do the same for the truck since no one ever sits in the back. Anyone know of a good small sub that would fit in that space?

Are you thinking about the little cubby holes underneath the back seats? If so, there isn't enough room for a decent subwoofer. Can you move the batteries to the otherside of the woofer?

If you head to a highend car audio shop they should be able to put a couple 6.5" subs in the small cubbies.. it will be tight. BUT.. I've heard high end systems using 6.5's in a small custom designed ported box and they sounded amazing. I'd want at least 2.. more if possible.

Not in the cubby. Under the front two seats. I may just see how much a bone yard would charge for the ones under my 7s front seats.

The truck that Zech and I helped install that Icon suspension on the other week has 4 6.5" woofers under the back seat in that compartment. He made the enclosure with fiberglass and ported it. Sounds really good. He builds home audio speakers and is a huge audiophile.

Yep.. exactly what I'm talking about.

Ahh.. I have my x-overs under my passenger seat... pretty sure nothing much would fit under the drivers seat. Well nothing worth a crap anyhow. I bought a Kenwood powered sub for my 81 and its a royal POS.. bass is not really the noise that it makes.

This is what is under the front seats in the 7 and when it plays a bassy song, I feel like I am the king of the ghetto. It bumps!

Thinking something like this:

Alpine PWE-S8 Car Subwoofer - 8"

I was just wondering if any of you had any experience with something like that. I'm not looking to open a night club, just looking to replace the sub.

 

[Anathollo]

Yeah it might do it for you if all you are looking for is a little bumpin' under your seat.

Reminds me of the Kenwood one I bought.

Hey, it's got good reviews

I know! We are looking at new media room furniture and I'm getting those to install under whatever we get.

You should have that guy Aaron was talking about build you some custom speakers. His stuff is so badass!

I have ~3000 watts of power in that room. I have 4 powered subs in there. These will just add a little bit more. Don't need much. Just a little kick in the pants. As it is if I crank it up it is too loud for most people.

But this guy makes audio art.

Awesome... Absolutely beautiful. But I don't need it. I have a killer set of Def Tech's that sound amazing. Maybe not as good as those. But if I move these into the living room then maybe I'll contact him. I have the living room wired for 7.1 as well. Just haven't filled it with anything other than a Polk soundbar bar and sub.
