Subs that fit under the seat

anyone with a underseat sub box set up, can you give me some feedback as to what subwoofer you have as well as the size? thanks!

im gettin one soon.....im goin with a ten inch.....any shallow mount sub should work.

yeah any shallow mount sub of your choice of brand etc. I am running a 12 Kenwood under each of my front seats in DOA. box is plenty big for the air space required for the sub.

Possibly the 8 but kicker subs do not sound that great in sealed enclosures. Best sounding subs in sealed IMO are JL audio (and I say that and im not a JL fan) so you might try there shallow mount or the Pioneer Primer Shallows don't sound to bad sealed either..

i have a Kicker 10" DVC CVR with a .5 Cubic feet box i built mounted under the driver seat and it does just fine, as long as i dont put rap/hip-hop but I dont listen to that stuff anyways

If this is true, you'll most likely be disappointed in the underseat boxes. They sound good enough too many but are more of a compromise for people who want to have everything hidden.

i only went with the under seat sub/stealth since i was victim of theft.
Had the 10" kicker sitting in the garage for a while, when i get a chance im replacing the kicker with the Rockford Fosgate P2D210 since it only requires 0.5 - 0.85 cubic feet vs the kickers 0.8 - 3.0 cubic feet.

i'm using the elemental designs 10sq...70 bucks off their site, free shipping. got a box off ebay for like 40 bucks...done!

besides the amp of course

bleufirefreak · 09-18-2009, 03:05 PM

hmm... well i live on a military base... you would think of safety.. but you would be supprised.

well the amp i was going to hid in the seat itself... like I saw on that one DIY, and then two subs under each of the seats... that way, my ass gets a massage...

Jeremiah · 09-19-2009, 06:12 PM

you could also run the amp back to the compartment next to the spare...mine fosgate 500w fits back there...it's diagonal, but it fits. and then the lid sits over all the incoming wiring just fine!

the putting it in the seat seams like a huge pain, and you can never adjust the dials without taking it out again...i don't think i'd like that...it's stealthy but there's easier ways...

bleufirefreak · 09-20-2009, 09:16 AM

well, the onl reason I thought about putting it in the seat is becauseI have ny aid bag in my compartment in the trunk. its also got my car breakdown stuff too.you can always wire the seat with a little extra cable to manuver it around i guess..

Any idea of what the maximum amount of airspace possible is?

Fido · 12-25-2009, 06:11 AM

How do you guys like your under-seat subs? That's what I'm looking at so as to maintain all my cargo space and hide the components. I don't want to rock the the 'hood and I don't listen to a lot of primarily "bassy" music. Would one of these work well for my application? I'm looking at a Rockford Fosgate 10" right now. TIA

Fido · 12-29-2009, 08:11 AM

Nobody got no idears huh?

JP_Extreme · 12-29-2009, 08:25 AM

I like the Rockfords. That is what I have pumping in my car. 2X 10" subs. I am not sure if you would be able to have enough space under there for them since I take it you have a '10 xB. I haven't worked on one of them yet, so I can't give you any real insight to it but I say go for it. The 10" are more designed for short hits (ie rock, country, etc.) not the long bass tones (ie rap, hip-hop, dance, etc.).

Fido · 12-29-2009, 08:39 AM

Thanks JP! Yeah I mainly listen to rock, metal, some jazz...the rap boom is not a priority to me...I'm old. Hahahaha

JP_Extreme · 12-29-2009, 08:59 AM

It's all good I understand. I am only 23 but I only listen to rock, metal, electronica, dance, techno, etc. that is why I focus my system to work with my music. 12" subs work great for all kinds of music, they are considered the universal subs. They hit hard for when you need it (rap) and they can turn and hit hard when the bass is rapid hits (rock). I am actually considering adding a 12" to my system just for the fact that I have the tendency to just between styles.
