Slim Subwoofers

[Bowlerwell]

I'm thinking about putting a subwoofer in the RS2. I want it to be small and discrete. I'm not after something that's going to wake the neighbours, just something to give me some extra bass.

I found a couple of active subwoofers that are quite small, only about 80mm tall.
e.g.
Kenwood KSC-SW1
Pioneer TS-WX11A
Clarion SV313

Has anyone tried something like this? Are they any good?
I'm thinking it might fit inder the seat, but i'll have to measure.

Blaupunkt do a small one too

I have an Alpine SWD-2000 which was in my 80 before I sold it. I've no use for it now. It does provide that bit extra and doesn't rattle your teeth out.

I was planning on selling it together with my Alpine 9881RB.

That guy looks a little tall to fit somewhere inconspicuously...

Dimensions 350 x 300 x 198 mm so yes it's not exactly going to fit under a seat

Good idea. I'm keen to see how you get on with this thread as the sound system could certainly benefit from some more bass up front. Not sure if you could fit any of the slim sub systems under the front seats as they can often drop quite low using the seat button. Also have the air vents to work around. Good luck tho!

I have been looking at one rom Pioneer. To mount under the passenger seat. Only 8cm thick.

Yep, that's one of the ones I listed above.
Some of the others are less than that though...

Will 80mm fit under a recaro?

^Maybe it'll fit in the compartment by the feet under the steeringwheel?

Not sure, but suspect it will IF you have the seat raised up. Trouble is for me I like the seat as low as possible. hmmm

[Bowlerwell]

I like my seat as low as possible too. Possibly ok in the passenger side though. My girlfriend isn't too tall.
I think the shelf under the steering wheel may be a little too flimsy to hold a sub.

You should look at a Phase Linear Aliente subwoofer, they play really great and are pretty compact.

I was thinking of a small sub in the spare wheel well (avant), as well as the spare wheel.

Ain't done any measuring yet but I can't see why it wont work ?

cheers

NIce idea!
Don't think my dog would appreciate!

I was also wondering if there was sufficient space either in with the warning triangle, or next to the rear washer bottle.

I'll have a look when I get the car back.
