[brjak]

I'm unsure whats under my seat. I took to a friend that owns an audio shop. Told him i wanted deeper sound. Was going to switch out speakers. He suggested under the seat sub. So i just went with it. There are plenty out there. installed I think it was approx 200$.

is it completely under the seat, or does it take up space behind the seat or the footwell?

I have been looking for something that fits completely under the seat for a while.
I found one, but it is no longer available

Could you ask your friend the brand/model number of the sub?

I searched but found no answer. I want to install two rear speakers in my soft storage compartment. I have the CDR210 radio/CD with dash and door speakers and a Nokia 4X40 amp.

I finally called Becker, told them what I have, and bought their rear speaker wiring harness and bought some speakers from Crutchfield. When I removed the radio (and the amp) there is no matching socket that will accept the Becker harness plug (a male plug with four connections).

I was hoping to plug that puppy in, run the wiring to the speakers and BAM, have some rear sound.

I emailed Becker today (in case anyone might be able to help on the holiday weekend) and will call them Monday.

In the meantime, anyone here able to offer any assistance?

I just switched the head unit. It was really easy. Took less then half an hour. New head unit puts out 50 watts per channel. Ran the stock speakers with the Crutchfield harness, and ran the 2 rear speakers to the rear speaker outputs on the head unit. Sounds great. My car also has the Nokia amp, and the Becker head unit.

I had some speaker wire from a previous project and bought some slip-on connectors at Radio Shack that attached to the 4 pins in the back of the radio for rear speakers. The "gagme" Boxster speaker hack suggested that. I connected the rear speakers via the schematic in the radio manual.

I ran the wires under the console, behind the driver seat an up to the soft compartment in a black slip-on wire loom. Connected the wiring to the 4X6 speakers. They fit snug and are angled to the front.

They sound really great. I just need to tidy up the inside of the soft compartment a little and fab up a black mesh so I can unzip the storage compartment and not mute the speakers, which is slightly noticeable when it's zipped.

Total price tag was $45. I'm happy!

Please let us know what type / model of sub you have under your seat. I looked under the seat and didn't think there was enough room for anything. I have a pioneer sub behind the passenger seat but it takes away about 4 inches of travel which can be a problem for a taller person. Also provides a back massage when you turn it up .

Would much prefer to have something that I can put out of the way.
