flamez Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I wanna open the Bose location tomorrow and see what can fit in there, Im wondering if i can put a 15" Subwoofer box firing upwards? Quote
smudgedon Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Oh God, who was it that built a box....... I can't remember, but someone has done it Quote
cs2000 Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I seem to remember you can get a 10 inch (low profile) sub straight in there. Not sure about 15 however. Quote
14N Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Slimjim did it. Had dimensions etc on his build thread. Doubt you'll get 15 inches in her though..... Quote

Madhatter Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Personally I'd always recommend a full box there. Some of made use of the metal plate and built a box behind but I can't say I'm overly impressed with a metal front - can igve a "rattle" sound which drives me mad! You can def get a JL audio 8" sub in with a perfect dimension box. Apparently you can get 10" sub in as well but I suspect only shallow magnets and I do wonder if the dimensions would be small. I wanted to get a 10" Alpine in but looks at maybe now changing to 8" JL. I reckon 15 would be virtually impossible and though you could maybe "model" a 12 in it I suspect it'll need to stick out quite a bit. Quote
flamez Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Took the seat and metal baffle out today there's quite a bit of space back there but it's really awkwardly shaped, I reckon a sealed 12 or ported 10 should fit easily Quote
flamez Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) update: got a 10" Re audio sub in a custom made box fitted in the bose location firing upwards today. I managed to get 0.7cuft volume so its just enough for a ported 10, although havnt cut a port in yet so its a sealed enclosure for now. its wired up @ 0.5 ohm to get the max power out of the bose. The compartment was rattling somewhere so i think it needs deadening/sound proofing. It was annoying me with the rattling so I took the sub out and stuck it in the boot Much better sound and louder. Its really dropping some lows out nicely, I'm not sure how many watts the bose amp is but its doing the job! I'm assuming its getting some cabin gain back there. Im now thinking to abandon the bose compartment altogether even though i wanted to keep all my boot space and keep it stealth. Edited July 11, 2013 by flamez Quote
veilside z Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 got mine from the us. it fits flat in the area opposed to angled position facing the seat ,it slid straight in. also reduces that boom against the drivers seat too. Quote
flamez Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 the box in the diagram is a bit small you can go alot wider as the opening is around 18 inches at the front. @veilside any pics/link, trying to picture what you mean? Quote
Plummerman Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I've got this sat in the garage ready to go in. Just pm the fella with spec. I had a 10" hole, but he will cut bigger. Each box is custom built once order received http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=250664954351 Quote

Its the one Plummerman found the link for. http://item.mobilewe...Id=250664954351 After its fitted you can fit your original bose speaker panel back into place and its all hidden away. Quote
flamez Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 that looks nice, pretty much similar to what i have had built, minus the bolt on panel. if i saw that before i would have ordered it, how much does it come in with shipping? Quote
Dblock Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 What type of RE you running? A few years ago I had a RE XXX v3 15" in a 4cuft box and port tuned to 33hz. It was awesome! Quote

Think it was 100 dollars for the shipping, its bloody solid in weight.. So 200 dollars in total.. Lot of cash for a piece of wood though.. If anyone want to make a fiberglass mould etc there welcome.. Will be a while before it gets fitted Quote

Yeah I have run a few XXX's in my BMW amazing subs used to set off car alarms with the ported one! This one is only an SR10 I borrowed from my brother, its a dual 4 so I had to use an accumatch to drop it down to 0.5ohms to get the full power out of the Bose amp Think it was 100 dollars for the shipping, its bloody solid in weight..
