subwoofers

[powerlord]

Don't want to start a 'why do you want a subwoofer' thread here, but for those who have one, what have
you done, and how easy was it? (i.e. things like how to get power to it).

In my 2 seaters before, I've always just bought a small active tube and sat it behind the seats.. this is more than enough to fill in for small standard speakers for me... audiophiles leave now.

When I eventually find a tuscan, I can't see me resisting to fit some sort of sub in it. There seems to be a nice big flat area behind the seats that one could sit one...a coat chucked over it when I lock up and shouldn't be very visible nickability wise.

something like:

which I thought might just looke space agey enough to fit in to the decor, or even a really low powered thing like:

http://caraudiosecurity.com/catalog/product_info.php+cPath+60_63_100+products_id+200

would probably be all that was needed.

All have high inputs, so could easily feed them from the existing speakers, but what to do about power ?

I don't want it in the boot because:

1) it takes up boot space
2) it means you have to have the sub so loud everyone else hears it, and my boy racer ned days are behind me...

pictures of installs would be great (already seen the one of the car install thread).

Hi Stu we covered this a bit the other day
have a look at www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=93232&f=5&h=0 This might give you a few ideas.

yeh, sorry, that was what I was referring to, but since it was about general stereo installs, I started a new thread.

I was wondering more if anyone has done it themselves, and if they have used any off the shelf active subs rather than a bespoke solution.
