What's under the seats?

[sramdeen]

Space wise? Is there much space to cram anything under them? You know what I'm thinking, I'm sure others have thought it before:

80mm? Even close? How about raising the seat by a cm? Anywhere near? Come on, talk to me.

Clarion do one that's just 65mm in height.

In deep need of half-decent sounds (apart from the Larini, of course. DAMMMMMM I love that thing)

I had something like this behind the seats, A Kenwood one.
Taken it out now though.

[sramdeen]

why did you take it out? Was it any good? When I say any good I mean better than replacing the standard rears with some 5 1/4" woofers and treating them as 'subs'?
Oh well, some tinkering this weekend will reveal what I want to know!
cheers

Well your arse is less than 65mm from the floor-pan so the bottom of the seat definitely is - I'd guess you have less than 10mm. As long as you're not too tall, you would probably fit it vertically behind the seats (above the little shelf if you've got an S2) without too much trouble though, just don't slam the seat back into it.

I can tell you what's under my seats! A Pearl Jam CD that I can't reach, a pen and about 84p in change I'm going to take them out next time I'm home

Mmm yeah, depending on the jeans I wear, money falls out all too easily when say in Elise seats, to be lost forever (or at least till the seats come out).

What head unit have you got? If it's a Woodstock, then changing it makes a huge difference on its own for starters.

It was ok i supose if you like that sort of thing.
Worked ok if the bass was turned down on the head unit, and use the sub for a bit of base. Had a remote thing for turning the bass frequency up or down.

Still have it if you want to make me an offer, before it goes on ebay

I've placed a small Alpine powered sub just above the pax footrest. Its held in place by heavy duty velcro. I've put a pair of 17cms Kenwood components in the rear, the tweeters being placed up high so they don't fire into the back of the seat. I've also a pair of 4 inch concentrics on the dash top in place of the outermost air vents. I've now got listenable to sound at anything up to common law M'way speeds with roof off or on.
This is in an S1 BTW.

You can get:
- A rizla paper
- A fart
- A CD
- Some random fluff

... under the seat.

As above, if you want a sub in there, mount behind or in the pax footwell.

May I suggest never removing your seats without some sort of public health warning

Hehe I found a vanilla Magic Tree air freshener under mine today! Had always wondered where the nice aroma came from....
