Subwoofers behind seats.

[edevlin]

Thanks for the update, I will be interested to see what the install looks like and how it sounds. I replaced the dash and door speakers with JL audio units. My car did not come with rear speakers so I added 4 each 4' speakers behind the seats. I found that the rear speakers really help in filling in the sound field.

I am powering everything with JL audio Slash-series amps and a high-end Pioneer head unit. Sounds pretty good, much better than stock, but still needs work. I have have used a 1/3 octive RTA to check the frequency response of the system. It is pretty terrible without equalization.

The Pioneer head unit has a 15-band equalizer which I have used to help flatten the response somewhat, but that cannt make up for the lack of a subwoofer. Most of the sub installs I have seen go in the footwell, where did you get the idea for behind the seats?

Got the idea after looking at some work my guy has done

he makes moulded housing for subs to fit any shape. You have basically 12cm behind the seat to play with the seat back.(i am 6.1 so seat is pretty much all the way back). Each 'box' he makes will have about 11 litres of volume.

He ordered for me speacial subs that are only 10 cm deep!!

He did simular thing in a SLK and it did the job super.

I will post a list of all the equipment and pics and prices once done. I struck a deal where here will not charge me labour provided he posts the install on his website.

so im happy.

Best thing is nothing will be visible.

Once this is done he will put 4 x 2.5inch in the back.

Should be improvement on the stock stuff.

I hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive had quotes to do that, fiberglass enclosure behind the seat. Mine would be 200 for one seat, whats yours?
