Hey guys, this is a rough prototype of a new design.
The deal is that the HUGE woofers out there won't fit in an E30 properly. It is hard to explain, but if you have a woofer with more than about 6" of mounting depth, the angle of the front wall makes it impossible...the woofer is just too deep.
The idea of this new design is to keep all of the stuff we are known for: Superb sound quality, efficient design that makes the most of your trunk space and most of all (say it with me guys) 100% of the bass into your car, NOT into your trunk.
I fucking HATE rattles. This design prevents them.
If you are interested in having a serious subwoofer in your E30 (more cars soon!) this is the answer. The porting is not shown, as I said this is just a rough idea of what we will be doing.
Just a few pics for now:
We plan on making a special version that has a "stepped" back, so you can use 2 of the new small amps. I am planning on using Soundstream "Stealth" series. There is a 4 channel and a mono amp that will fit on either side of the woofer window.
As you can see, it is deeper than the normal 12" box, but smaller than my "vertical mount" boxes:
This tiny little Cerwin Vega is the only 10" woofer I have sitting around (it ain't that small) should give you an idea just how badass this is gonna look from the back seat...assuming you have an armrest. Either way the veiw from the trunk will be fucking awesome.
We plan on making 3 or 4 different versions, with and without trunk windows, with LEDs over the woofer, different finishes, etc. Pretty much pure custom, but you can install it yourself.
This box is obviously going to need to be fully finished. We can do that at whatever level you want. I think just a simple textured finish in satin black would be best, but full base/clear high gloss body-match paint would look pretty sweet too, right?
