Roadster sound system thoughts????

jlbrenne · 07-30-2012, 04:28 PM

hey guys~

What are some options for a good 8" subwoofer to install in the Roadster (between the passenger and driver seats area)?

why an 8"? what about a 10" in the passager foot well?

I understand roadsters do not come with a spare tire... How about a spare tire well enclsoure that would sit in the openng... Anyone have pictiures of the roadster trunk with all the carpeting taken apart?

The only downside to this is the trunk is separate from the cabin, so your only going to get the vibration from the sub not the air moment.

I like the clean look of the install between the passenger and driver seats.

how about a low profile 10" in the door...

The area at the rear is pretty tempting

It's an option -- around $500. Why bother at that price. Even without a roadside assistance program, $500 will pay for more tows than flats you'll have at the side of the road

I think this is the route I'm going to go. Installer says he can fit a 10"......

That's going to sounds pretty sweet. Can't wait to see pics of the install.

jlbrenne · 08-05-2012, 09:41 AM

I certainly will. I have a couple things on the agenda right now. First, is getting a wing. Then either sound system or the exhaust.

Bought my car 1 year old used and it came with every option available, that's why.
