I want...need more bass
 
Hi all, so at first I thought Bose will be enough...I was wrong. I miss heavy bass :tuttut: Mine being a rare-ish LWB I rather not cut rear parcelshelf to fit a subwoofer although it would look the best, and also I am not huge fan of box in the boot...I know, I'm cutting my options short here :ROFL:

What other options I have? How about mounting a small shallow fit subwoofer in side compartment where amp goes?

I'm happy for speakers to run off head unit, just need that extra bass :rolleyes:

Didn't someone (you know who I mean) use the ski hatch rear armrest for a subwoofer? Though it does probably intrude into the boot.

What about those under seat Subs? My 1 series had it, quite punchy.

I have a Panasonic under seat sub in the camper van. Very tidy and easy to install (can work off speaker line output or phono/sub output from the head unit)

Wired remote gives you control from mild thump to dish rattling experience

Are these as good as they look? I found this type which would mean sacrificing little bit of boot space but a lot less than conventional suborder box.

Coming from a panel van with 2 rubbish OEM speakers in the doors anything is an improvement!

I upgraded the door speakers to a JBL component set with tweeters atop the dash, 2x JBL component sets in the rear cabinetry (which provides a decent bass output on its own)...still felt something was lacking up front.

The sub provided just that nice extra thud for the front row listeners +++

Is there enough space under the seat for one of these? Anyone installed one in their D2? I found out my S8 has a large dome in the spare tire well which houses the fuel system evap gear since I live in the States. I was hoping to cut out the dome and flip the spare wheel over and use a spare wheel subwoofer but that won't work. So I have to go with a different option.
