I want...need more bass
Hi all, so at first I thought Bose will be enough...I was wrong. I miss heavy bass 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
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 |

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

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.
