Stereo Subwoofer question???

[Tieniber]

I'm assuming you don't have an aftermarket amplifier? What happens when you set your radio fader to full rear? When I got my 99, everything would go silent. That means that the rear output on the radio is not currently powering anything, although I'm pretty sure the wires are still run from the radio to the amplifier.

Take a look at the manual for the radio: here. Page 28 has the pin-outs, and it looks like socket C1, pins 1 and 2 are your left and right rear pre-outs. You could tie into those two and the ground and feed them to the un-amplified input on the sub.

Getting power back there to the sub is another challenge...

Meat,
I too hate the lack of bass in the box... there are a LOT of ways you can go, BUT if you are not willing to invest in a better head unit (OEM sucks imho) then ask yourself what quality bass you will get for the money you are willing to pay...

Also that enclosed sub requires no other amp (pro) but now you have mounted a sub right next to your ear (major con). Subs as we know are meant to be felt, not heard, imagine the extreme discomfort of "feeling" the sub right next to your ear, MAJOR HEADACHE!!! also I noticed that particular sub didnt have a remote. meaning once wired in, you will have to use your head unit (stereo) to control the bass out put... and that is even more frustrating. Last reason to avoid that enclosure, for the price, you could custom build one in that same space thus getting MUCH better acoustics!

So whats a man to do to get some bump and not break the bank?
upgrade the door speakers or dash speakers. Read this http://images.wikia.com/boxster/images/b/b6/Boxster_speakers_update_article.pdf
