ive had an idea of making an enclosue for the rear seat to mimick the bottom half of the seat. if possible id like to fit 2 10" subs, with this amount of space would it be possible to gt the right amount of volume from an enclosure or is it a bit small?

you could use 2 of these from vibe - I used these in blue nun, on a 18mm birch ply under-seat panel and they fit fine - no mods required - just as much punch as 2 regular 10" subs

You could always make the 'bottom' of the seat a bit higher, to gain extra volume if you need to, but the boxes would be quite wide anyway so you should be alright.

The real issue would be getting the right material, you need stuff that will let the sound through, but actually look like a seat, not just like more carpet, cause it'll be blatent that its not a seat otherwise.

i was thinking of covering it all in leatherette material and then making some circles of material with popper studs on it just to cover the subs when im out an about or the age old favourite of drapping a picnic blanket over the seat

THe popers in a round circle would be a bit obvious, plus a pain having to do it everytime..

I'd be tempted just to retrim all the rear end to acustic material.

Could do the old picnic blanket, wont look very professional though.. plus if it sinks and takes up the shape of the sub, people are going to know its there.

Roofless - did you build an enclosure for those or are you running them as is?

I made a birch plywood panel using one of the free templates posted previously, 18mm thick so nice and strong, bracketed and fixed under the seat and sealed along all sides with tiger-seal.

I have these as well under the rear seat. I would highly recommend them, they sound great

Get an office bin(the mesh type) from staples or somewhere like that and cut it and flatten it out so it covers the hole for the speaker, use panel pins or something similar to hold the mesh flat, mount the speakers under the wood. Then cover in acoustic carpet, then you have just made a stealth inclosure.


i would probably just go for a single 10 tho, get some decent componats to go up front and power them with an amp.


have a look on talkaudio.co.uk/com to get ideas on which box design will work best.
