Subwoofer?
 

Hey guys,

Any recommendations for a subwoofer in the boot of the 86 without taking up too much room?

Last I saw, there isn't a lot of height in the boot... will this effect what you can and can't choose?

i would wait for the factory one, its plug and play and still leasves a lot fo room in the trunk

its around 3-400 usd but this way you dont have to run wires or buy an amp and it takes 15 min to install

Do you have a link? Specs? More info would be appreciated ty

Is this legitimate?

Hmm never seen that before! Scion made?

That Scion one is epic win. So minimal and subtle. I want one on both sides!!

I'm looking at getting a mate to build me a custom fibreglass enclosure for a 10" on the side - quoted at $200 at the moment

Yeah there all American domestic products, i have never seen any pre-fab, vehicular specific subs like that over here as there has never been the demand.

How much do you want to spend? how willing are you to get a proper fiberglass enclosure made?
how much do you want to spend on amplification for the sub?

Yeah I'm guess it'll cost an arm and a leg to get that scion prefab one here - probably won't be as good as a well put-together setup here - but hey I don't know much :P

My mate actually owns/runs a relatively well-established car audio/security business here in Syd so he can get me some pretty good prices on the goods. I'm probably looking at ~500 for a custom FG enclosed 10" sub on a monoblock amp as a first move - then might look to swap out the stock 2 channel amp for the door woofers.

Also, there are too many car audio threads on here - OP search next time? ty

Would it sound good? It's facing sideways and position of the subwoofer in the car doesn't seem like it would sound that good. Anyone had one in a similar setup/car?

You obviously don't know how subwoofers work.

We are using a Hertz sub in our install, something like this:

Placing resonating objects on a hollow surface, facing perpendicular to the listener... Not only is it going to do a poor job of reflecting off the adjacent surfaces to the enclosure (given that they're damped by the fabric), its going to cause interference and distortion with itself (or if we're really unlucky, cancellation). Since its also firing upwards, I have a feeling its going to rattle and swallow up the 40-70hz tones...

Am I wrong, or are you just trying to look cool on the internet?

Thats impossible for anyone really :p

:w00t:

:bs:

I know that JL Audio is working on a stealth box that will house a TW3-10 that will mount on the right side of the trunk (because the trunk switch is on the left side). This is an awesome speaker. I saw it at CES.

my sub is bolted to the back of my left rear seat, sounds great. i'm liking the sound of these stealth boxes though, think i'll need to keep an eye on them

What height sub box can under the parcel shelf? I have a Kicker S10L7 floating around. I might build a custom box for it.

A focal 27kx Sub will fit in a 10" box which will fit in our boots.

Any idea how tall that box is?

Not entirely sure but it just fits Like 2mm to spare

I guess I'll just wait until my car arrives to measure the space.

Small but should add a little bass : http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=CS2286

That would need to go in the boot, cause you can barely fit a passengers foot under the seat much less a woofer.

I had a similar one to that, better than the Jaycar (and around the same price)
was ok, didnt have the low's that were really needed and they become pretty useless in a noisy car, they just cant cut though the noise.

Fitted ok in the 'Lux, but the seat is up pretty high.
wouldn't fit under the drivers seat though.

thought i'd share this here. From Toyota 86 Facebook page
