Dear Cabriolet owners who want a subwoofer:

[papajetta]

Any progress with this?

[Kruzen]

I think my girlfriend would murder me if I ever did anything work related with a girl wearing anything remotely like that. She doesn't even like me working with other girls in general.

Last time I had that kinda help;not much work got done.
Considering removing all the metal behind seat and rear shelf.Building box into the car with the 2 15 inch subs being where back rest was and ports out top of box/rear shelf.This car is my going to work car and back seat really never used.
Built several like this way back when and they always worked out well.Just can't stick anybody in rear without grills on speakers.Making kick panel pods up front.def hair raising.
I started w a 2 10 box in trunk but didnt get much sound thru the firewall back there.I have a box for 2 15's that may fit.if not a trip to get some mdf no prob.

That ebrake needs adjusted. Like bad. :p

Nice girl.

And good work as always luke.

So you never got around to starting the box for the Vert?

Well, if by "start" you mean actually DOING something, no.

I have spent a bit of time researching, but no actual progress.

I hope you go forward with two 8" for that vert box. Got a pair of jl w3 in the garage and would hate to waste them. :D

We have an 8w3 on clearance if you wanted to add a third one =) Nice little sub. Probably still cheaper online though, but at least you get the JL warranty...

If I do the 8" box, it will come with woofers.

I have a line on a fairly beefy 8" that "should" work in bandpass...most will not work well.

These woofs will be like $50/pr though. 2" voice coil, 40oz magnet, should be about 200w RMS each...but need to get the software to test the woofers. I have 2 of these now, can get more soon.

Hopefully gonna get the woodshop built shortly. AS of now, garage is WAY too cold for me, plus I am stuck in the damn driveway, so can't even go buy materials!

That sounds good too! I can flip these jl since they are NIB. Keep us updated luke! :up:

On a side note, heard up north you guys are getting hit with that storm. Must be Nuckin futs!

[lylefk]

It's pretty entertaining...not nearly as entertaining as your sig though...

[StereoInstaller1]

Yeah, this storm is a major bummer.

No work and can't get parts to do shit at home, plus the Astro is stuck in the damn driveway!

[franco90]

good shit luck nice looking friend ... I hope to see more pics of set up and friend..

Just mounting speakers into the rear wall seems easier to me. that second wall on the trunk side seems like it ought to make a pretty decent box, doesn't it? I'm not an audiophile or anything so this seems suitable to me.. plus you don't lose trunk space. Just mount the amps to that wall and you're set.
The wall being vertical kinda helps aim the speakers at the driver and passenger head and assume that whatever soundwaves don't hit will fly up out of the car.
Another option might be to install them into the front seats themselves, or build a speaker box as a center console for the rear two seats rx-8 style.
