Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / April 2004Shallow Subwoofer Option
I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth. It's being crammed behind the seat of a regular cab pickup. I have about .95ft^3 of airspace to work with, but depth is my real issue. I have about 4.5" to work with, which seems to be about an inch less than most 10" need. I know I can find some 8"s to work, but are there any shallow 10"s that would work better than a good 8"? If not, any recommendations for a good 8"? How about a small monoblock to go w/ it? My last sub/amp setup was a Crystal CMP12 and the back 2 channels of ESX Q1204 bridged... I miss the days of my hatchback.. Any suggestions appreciated. trey > I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth. > It's being crammed behind the seat of a regular cab pickup.

It's underpowered now but it sounds great. I can get the seat all the way back also, with room to spare. '95 Dodge Dakota. http://www.jlaudio.com/enclosures/CS110TGW0.html Some people have complained that it's too punchy and not enough rumble, I only have one but I find it quite realistic sounding, it has the impact and depth of the live rigs I work on when processed properly. If you're into hyped up nose running bass it's not for you. But it's clean and quick. Chad Check out the new, shallow depth subwoofer from Earthquake Sound in the Silicon Valley. It's called the "SWS". www.earthquakesound.com . P. > > I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth. > > It's being crammed behind the seat of a regular cab pickup.

Maybe I can find someone near me who has some I can listen to.. trey > Blaupunkt's new version of the Overdrive subs are VERY shallow, due to using > a flat piston instead of a cone-shaped diaphragm...

Their SQ is second to none. > I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth. > It's being crammed behind the seat of a regular cab pickup.

It's probably on their website: www.earthquakesound.com P. > I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth. > It's being crammed behind the seat of a regular cab pickup.

It is a special .7-ohm speaker that is matched to a 100-watt amp. It's definitely OK, but the speaker seems a little muddy--not really great. I like the box--if I were doing it over again I would use their box, which fits just great, and add my own speaker and amplifier. > I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth. > It's being crammed behind the seat of a regular cab pickup.
