I bought an AUX input cord from https://www.discountcarstereo.com/login.php @ $10 and it works fine with my CDR220. I'm also running an Alpine 4 channel 50W amp to power Boston 4 inch speakers in the original locations. To use your words, the sound is still just adequate IMO. Good luck with your build.

Hi everyone:

Do any of you have a recommendation for a low profile subwoofer that would fit either under the passenger seat or behind it. I know there are 8" and 10" low profile speakers out there, but my concern is that they really do sound (have the punch) of a true subwoofer.

Thanks

I have been looking for one as well. All the ones I have found are too tall to fit without raising the seat rails. Putting one behind the pass seat doesn't work for me as it would take away too much legroom.

As far as the sound, while it probably won't be the best bass, it will certainly add quite a bit. Bass is non-directional, so it's location is not critical

Jay - you wouldn't know what is the max height this bass SW needs to be by any chance? Yep too friggin lazy to go measure it myself :/ car is half mile away, full of dust

I'm off to the car parts village this coming Sunday to see my HID kit supplier. I'll stop at the car audio street (blvd lol) to look for one of those. I'll admit it I also need that... recently found some new slapping tones that I'd like to play while I drive the Boxster

Or if anyone knows, that'd be fab
