My new rear-seat subwoofers
 

Hey everyone just figured I'd post the latest ICE mod I've done to my 86.

Spent all of last weekend building this, subs arrived today and I couldn't have been more excited, or more satisfied by the sound. I used to run a 12" Kenwood sub in the boot and on first impressions I couldn't really tell much of a difference in sound between them.. Although I reckon 80-120hz frequencies are clearly more defined.

I'm extremely happy with the setup, I get 90% of the bootspace, with a still-usable back seat - It still folds flat - and no noticeable downgrade in sound quality.

Subs are Kicker Kicker CWRT671's running in a sealed custom 16l/0.56ft3 mdf box. Still need to add grills and carpet the box.

Vid:

are the subs not getting crushed/pressed upon when you lower the seats?

Ok this is rad as hell. I put some Dayton 7 inch subs in my doors and along with the Pioneer headunit really helped, but it’s a far cry from my 15” IB setup in my old car.

If you put grilled on the speakers to protect the cones when you fold it it would be awesome.

which 7" subs?


i acquired the parts a while back to make an IB rear seat with some of these, but they turned out to be too deep for the rear seat cushion area-- ran too much of a risk of damaging the speakers if i folded the seat down.

so i'm keeping my peerless xxls 10" taking up trunk space.
