Saab 6.5" subwoofer fits above jack

[barbierij]

depth is about 2-3/4" but could be modified to accept 3-5/8" by removing the centering cone..yes, it actually poked into the center of the stock subwoofer to center it.

Here is that cone:



Measuring volume is not my thing.
13.5x high
10.5"wide
5" deep...mostly. some of this box is curved probably to conform to something else from the saab.

It is from a 2000 Saab 9-5 SE wagon with the Harmon/Kardon. V6 Turbo yo! 6.5" DVC 2ohm / 22watt per coil. My original dry-rotted, so I bought a 2nd one a the junk yard for about $20. It takes about 10 minutes to pull out if you are nice and don't break anything. The replacement also had a crack in the foam surround so I replaced one yesterday with a rubber surround and I am going to do the 2nd one today or tomorrow. I will try that in one of the cars. Oh, and the surrounds are about $10 from speakerworks.com and i'm sure a junk yard will give a deal if you explain the foam surrounds on these things crack after about 8 years. Formel's in Great Barrington, MA has a bunch of these cars.

Details? This could be a good option to swap woofers also.

That's really interesting. What year Saab did it come from? Are you planning on installing it? What are the amp/ohm specs of the speaker?

Ok, so I am replacing the speaker rings on two of these subwoofers. Just for fun, I figured I would test fit it in an iX. It looks like it would fit pretty well above the space for the jack with some brackets. It is only a 6.5" but hey it sounds decent in the saab 9-5 wagon. I didnt hook it up in the iX.
