Cool Bass Upgrade

[bigislandboxster]

I'm not familiar with the rear speakers, as I do not have any and have not worked with them...The door speakers are supposed to be subwoofers/woofers and are only supposed to emit low frequencies, tho I don't know the cutoff.....Either the stock amp or the head unit probably has the low pass frequency for the doors built in and at a set point(Probably the head unit). As far as the door speakers wiring, the left door I believe is the green wires, and the right door the purple wires. If you check your head unit plug you should be able to see these easily.....The wires with the brown going thru them is the negative in case you didn't know

Thanks Lou. I will try to tap the door speaker wires just behind the head unit and see how that works out. Carmos, I have the speaker just in front of the passenger seat on the floor for now. At that location, it does not impact the passenger's seating whatsoever, but is visible. It is just under 4" thick, so I found it unacceptable behind the passenger seat. I will report back once installed properly with pictures and sound report.

I have all my speakers running through an amp in the front. With regards to bass, I have tried a 10" in the front but you can barely hear it. the only thing i can do is put a bass tube in the passenger footwell and mount it to the bottom of the dash. It is VERY loud inside but it does take up space. I have it on a quick release kinda strap so when the wife is riding shotgun her knees aren't in her throat.

I just installed the Kenwood Subwoofer KSC-SW1. If you don't have the rear speaker or the compartment behind the headrest. The Subwoofer fits perfectly on either side. Driver or Passenger. It sounds very good. Not amazing. But for a 3 3/4 inch tall Sub-woofer. I think it suits the Boxster very well. It gives me a lot of bass with pretty good low end. I will take some pictures. It definetly worth the price.

Hey Joji, glad to hear you finally got it working. What was the solution?

[Joji]

Randall,
thanks. The ground wire from the Subwoofer I had hooked up to the roll bar. Because it had paint the unit was not grounded which did allow sound to come through. Now that it is working, I still have to figure how to get the ignition wire tapped into the back of the fuse box. Tell me if this is right. I want to take a femal adapter and attach my Blue iginition wrie from the subwoofer and pu**************** in the back of an empyt fuse slot. The bottom wire is already there from the battery. The top slot is empyt. Then I will place a fuse in the front 7.5 amps. I hope this works. Let me know if this is correct
thanks
joji

I think someone more "electronically ept" should answer this question for you. I've never done what you're asking about, althought it sounds right!
