Arrow I need a subwoofer, what you guys gave?

Hello folks.

I need a subwoofer to get a beat in my car, but I want something not to big and nice installed.

What you guys have?

I have an Infinity Basslink smashed between the seat backs and the rear deck. Not the best place for a sub but it is sandwiched and secured. Has a nice blend of bass, not too light, not too strong, it is very nicely in between.

I put Focal 5WS in the doors. Started with a set of Focal 136KP mids (5.25") but they were not true subs. The 5WS' are much better as subs, and fit in the standard door speaker locations, which are wired as subs. They sound great and look stock. The 5WS are no longer made, you can sometimes find them on Ebay, now Focal makes a 13KS that is also a 5.25" subs.

That was not a nice placement of a subwoofer in a porsche.

I just put the Focal 13KS's in my doors. They are indeed, true subs. They are powered by a little Kenwood 200W amp. I get plenty of bass, but can't rattle the car two spaces behind me at a stop light...

They must be busy. I can fill in temporarily.



Oh, and click the LINKS in my SIG, as there is a whole write up on audio.
There is also a separate link to the thread with the sub box - both have lots of pics.

Of course I am using a custom box behind the rear seats with dual JL Audio 8" subs but no pictures of it. David

Wow guys thats a lot of freaking mods you done to get those results, Im not that good in moding and Im a bit afraid of chopping in a porsche.

I was more looking for a easyer mod, a subwoofer that I can mount/hide somewhere and get a allright beat?


Insite: I do not like that, should be hidden, to pimp for my taste to show it of.

Looks ok to me. I'd be worried that passengers would put a foot through it though.

it actually has a carpeted cover that goes over it so you don't see or damage the sub.
