leightonjames Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey everyone, So, I've just bought my first Z and noticed that the bass wasn't exactly great... This morning I spent an hour taking the entire front console off to check the wiring and couldn't see any problems so I then decided to take a look at the sub behind the drivers seat (Doh!) and this is what I found.. Now uhhh, tell me if I'm missing something but isn't there supposed to be a 10" sub in there?!? Where can I get them from? Cheers everyone!

Sam Mcgoo Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Looks like someone had an aftermarket one fitted at some point. If you want oem I'm sure there is one in the for sale section somewhere. It's in amongst lots of other items though so not in the title of the thread.

smudgedon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ouch! Unlucky mate I'd stick another aftermarket one in there, the Bose one is pants. And upgrade the headunit as well, will make for a much better sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheff Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Doesn't octet have one for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Does the non Bose or imports not have a sub? Might not be as simple as just buying an oem sub and plugging it in. I would get an aftermarket one with its own amp it will be infinitely better imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Meant to say is your a UK/Import Bose/Non Bose ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC350Z Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Is the bose amp still there as you will need that as well better to change as others have said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Is the bose amp still there as you will need that as well better to change as others have said That was my point there should be a small amp for the speakers and a small amp for the sub too but I am not sure the Bose / Non Bose are the same If everything is there then the op has the cheaper option of the oem sub but I personally wouldn't pay more than say £30 for it....

KC350Z Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I agree and as its all out any way better to upgrade it rather than replace it for what is not that good a system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Doesn't octet have one for sale He does indeed and if the OP is skint it will certainly do for the time being:) Edited February 23, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leightonjames Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 There is a small amp above where the sub should be. I presume thats the amp for the sub and not the other speakers? Where abouts is the other? Also, does anyone know the wattage of the main sub amp? I need to make sure I match the powers right? Will be getting an upgrade as opposed to the Bose one. Cheers!

spursmaddave Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The other amp is in the boot, if you are going to get an aftermarket sub you will need a box too really and an amp as the bose one is not great All depends on budget I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun1982 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sorry to hijack but since having my zed I've heard the sub about 3 seconds, did the left speaker cut out last night, all seemed fine on a quick check at half eleven last night! Only had it on low though so not sure if the sub works now. If not any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
