Small/discrete Subwoofer
« on: November 26, 2013, 11:25:16 am »
Im looking to instal a small sub into my golf and plug it into the factory head unit, I only want something very small to provide extra bass. I have recently been in a mates Audi A3 with Bose sound system which has a small 40watt sub which provides a decent amount of bass. I want to install something similar into my car, im looking for any information that may help me and recomendations. I have seen options that fit under a seat or can be hidden away such as the Pioneer TS-WX210A although it seems quite expensive, prehaps a similar option? I would also concider building an enclosure to fit into the side of the boot if this is a more cost effect method.

Any info/help would be great

Cheers

Would be interested in people's opinions too. Just upgraded the rcd300 to a later 310 and added rear speakers in to the other halfs golf however it's still lacking somewhat. Ideally didn't want to add a sub in the boot including the side mount- not unless it's really discreet like our audi a3 Bose boot set up.

P.s I am sure this will get moved into he audio section :smiley:

Hi mate, that would be my best case scenario installing something like an A3 bose sub (if it is possible) so that its hidden, otherwise i know you can get small space saving or under seat subs which i wouldnt mind attaching to the side of the boot (depending on how good they are)

p.s i couldnt find the audio section when writing this but on closer inspection i can see its in the modification area. woops!

Might be an option for 'Group Buy' if the right option at the right price.
I'd be interested.
I seem to recall a custom made sub box that fitted into the space on the left in the boot I saw somewhere. I can't afford to lose much boot room and an underseat unit would interfere with the heater outlets which are already under the seats. That might not be a problem for some - but I do have to carry rear seat passengers!
