Subwoofer help.

[d1rty_e30]

Hello, i am looking to get some help with my sub woofer setup. I've recently put all new speakers, and a head unit, and i was kind of looking for a sub woofer. Now i am not really good with sub woofers and watts and all that kinda of stuff. I bought this sub woofer a while ago, and can't find any info on what box or amplifier to run with this thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you searched in the "Car Audio & Electronics" section? Also, read StereoInstaller1's posts.

Satisfied owner of a lukebox checking in. You will not be disappointed. Luke knows his stuff, and his products are top quality.

Sure, you could buy a cheaper generic box for less, but nothing will match the fit, sound, and customer service you will get from Luke (aka StereoInstaller1). Don't waste your money on any other box.

Hey there...as said above (Thanks guys!) my business partner and I run a company called German Audio Specialties that makes just what you need and have several hundred of our boxes in BMWs all over the country. We also build stiff for other BMW chassis, we offer over 30 different boxes.

Feel free to PM me about a box, we do have 12" E30 boxes in stock.

Because your car is so well insulated, we have developed a method of designing and building boxes that force all of the bass into the cabin, so you get way more bass per watt and the sound quality is greatly improved...you get big fat clean thump, even with a 50 woofer and a couple hundred watts.

Installing our boxes is a lot more work than typical, as all of our E30 boxes requires you to remove the 50+ pounds of sound deadning material under your trunk carpet (plenty of posts to help with that, it's a PITA) and you have to cut 2 holes in your rear deck for the port tubes. We have a tutorial and the box comes with a template to make it easier. Personally, I love the bottom end of the 12" box, it is just brutal.

If you aren't willing to cut holes (it isn't that hard and is necessary only for the 12") we also offer an 8" and a 10" that don't require cutting holes. I know you already have a woofer, but it was only $50, so if you had to sell or return it, you aren't out that much.

The woofer you showed in our E30 12" box will blow your mind, it make a HUGE amount of top-quality bass...but the issue is that you need a 2 channel amp because you have a 4 ohm woofer and most 5 channel amps want to see a 2 ohm load on bass, so it may be a smart move to return that woofer.

Tell us more about what you expect your subwoofer to do and far more importantly, tell us about what sort of expectations you have for your car audio system. We will help you pick pieces that makes sense for your budget and your tastes.

Thanks!

Luke
