box behind the seat for a sub. has anyone tried?

mitchb

alpine 10 type r s are best bang for the buck

I went with the little 10" Pioneer and it has plenty of kick for a car this small inside. I just put it in the back because I don't use the hatch anyways and it fit right under the cargo cover.

Do you have the cover extended while driving/using it? Wonder if it makes the cover wobble during the good drops...

Actually this is a downfire sub so no it's not rippling the cover or anything, but with the rear view mirror dancing around it looks like the rear window is gonna pop out! LOL.

I'd flip that bad boy over for the giggles to see if it did anything cool

Ya and maybe pour some sand on it and see what happens.

That really looks like an ideal sub for the Z.

Forgive me for not understanding the details of car audio, but do you also have to have a amplifier installed in the car somewhere to drive the sub, or is there a sub output on the back of the stock Nav/Audio unit? Thanks.

I added an Alpine amp to drive the sub and tapped off the stock sub, through a line output converter (Audio Control LC2i). It's a bit of work to install it all but it was worth it. I would like to replace all the stock speakers some day but for now this was a good compromise to "wake up" the stock Bose system and still retain my Nav etc.
Also as a side note, I use an ipod loaded with uncompressed CD rips for a source. It seems the Bose only gets worse with SQ from other sources. The music box hard drive was a big disappointment in my opinion, with compression down to 192 kps not helping.
