Slim-line SubW Box

(1/2) > >>

rdfcpete:
To save a bit of boot space I decided before I fit my ICE system into the Golf, I'd like to see how I could save boot space, even if it's marginal.

I'm not going to save weight, so space is the obvious target.
The sub-box already has the amp mounted onto the back of it, therefore that's a start.

On top of this, I was wondering where slim line SubW boxes are purchasable on their own? - I can only find them in 10" with sub's as part of the package, thus they're a £tonne plus.

Should I just butcher the 12" one I've already got?
One obvious option is to build my own but I want a quick and easy fix really, I don't have the resources as such. Carpetting' and what have you would be awkward.

I'm confident the sub will fit with about a third of the depth off, making it 'slimmer'.
The most important question really is I expect this to affect the sound, but how much will it affect the sound by bass wise? Unless it's a massive decrease in quality I wouldn't be fussed.

Thanks,
Pete.

You should take a look at Hurdys write up on how to make a box for the arch using fiberglass  :happy2:

rdfcpete:
I suppose a slim-line sub and a fibreglass box would save space + weight.

Isn't the sound quality with slim line subs meant to be crap though?

VC:
i have a slim sub...and it's superb

Cheers VC.

Had a quick scan (I'm at work, so on a small res window  :wink: ) and could find the pages relating to the carpet install in the left hand side of the boot.

BTW, what sub is that? I'll need a compact or slim-line sub very similar to that. Seems they are only available in 10"?
