New E39 10" Subwoofer

[AndrewBird]

Just an idea for cutting the hole out of the seat back. Rather then use tin snips all the way around, you could use a hole saw (say, 1" diameter) and drill each corner with that first, then connect the holes with straight lines using tin snips. Probably be easier then trying to cut curves with tin snips, and it would give nice smooth corners.

There's no way the W6 will fit. The basket stays too large around and too far away from the mounting surface plane. It's because of the angle of the face, and the location that the woofer had to be to fit the port tubes in the ski-pass. It was a juggling act.

I do not have an -exact- max depth attainable at the center of the cutout (once again due to the angle), because that number will change with different magnet diameters. I'll be safe and say 6", maybe a little more depending on how big around the woofer is at it's max depth. As Keith mentioned above, it is known that his W3, and an Infinity 1062 do fit, and they're both just barely under 6" mounting depth.

I doubt a w6 will fit. My first gen w3 is a tight fit. If you can, pick up Lukes recommended sub which is the infinity reference 1062. Its like $60 and is an amazing little sub for what it is. Im gonna yank my w3 out and pick one up myself (this tired w3 is ready for retirement lol)

Luke previously made me a box for e30 10w6 and im so in love with that setup. Still have another 10w6 left over andwould like to reuse that or find max depth before picking up another sub to my taste.

Did you have dsp ? Did you remove the dsp "nokia subs". Have you redone the front setup ?

Was this integrated into the existing factory audio?

No the ports are not blocked at all. Ill try and remember to grab a picture of that tomorrow and toss it up. This thing truly sounds awesome. You'd never guess its only seeing around 300 watts. Its so freakin awesome!

Here's some pictures for you guys. Thanks a lot Keith for taking these!

Seconds after being finished:


Lots of trunk space left, proof!


At the back of the box:


At a JL 10W3 tightly nestled into the ski-pass hole. The port tubes are at the top of the ski-pass hole, if this picture were taken at a slightly steeper angle it would show they are not blocked:

32 inches of trunk space is left behind the box!

Thanks Keith!!!

We just upholstered the first box, and crossed our fingers his woofer would fit. It is an older JL W3, and it does! Just. No wiggle room, but it fits in beautifully. Sounds amazing, too!

...but we would expect nothing less!

More pictures coming soon!

[keith2]

finished and installed pics coming later today (tuesday) Ill be heading up there in about 9 hours to get one of these in my car. The test fit pic is in my trunk, and trust me, there is TONS of trunk space left. Ill bring my camera along and get some pics and get them posted up asap.
