Adding Subwoofer - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I've owned my Boxster for 5 years and am thinking of adding some bass into the car. Problem is, I don't know where to place them. I was thinking the passenger footwell but I don't want to sacrifice too much leg room. Anyone with experiences with this?

Search for this, my local shop did an amazing custom sub for me in the passenger footwell that barely limits footwell space and sounds fantastic. They are now selling the kid pre loaded with an 8" JL driver. PM me for details after you find my other post.

Hi Patrick, I got one of the 8" JL Audio subs you reported on in your posts. I have already installed a second JL Audio Slash amp to drive it, now all I need is my car back from the shop so I can install the subwoofer.

hey guys i know you all have the one on the passenger area, but has anyone tried something like a custom box for the front or year trunk with like a 12 or maybe 2 10" subs?

It's gotta be inside the cabin or you won't be getting good bass.
The engine will block out noise from the rear trunk and the front trunk would only work if you ported it into your cabin.
I have the Focal 13WS in the passenger footwell now with much success, all it requires is a proper installation.
