Subwoofer suggestion for liftback owners
I saw some people who install subwoofers into liftback and lost 50% to 100% of trunk space. But these suggestion may also be interesting for sedan owner who wan't loose any carrying space in the trunk!
I have two great subwoofers suggestions for people who want great bass response and who is concerned about trunk space. I test one of these products and the other one as been tested by one of my good friends. Suggestion #1 : BLAUPUNKT ODw1000HP - Size : 10" - Type : Single Voice Coil - Power Continuous (RMS) : 200 watts - Power Peak (MAX) : 600 watts - Sensitivity (dB 2.83V / 1m) : 90 db - Frequency Response : 20 - 200 hz - Magnet Weight : 40 oz - Cone Material : Aluminium & Foam - Surround Material : Foam - Mounting Depth : ONLY 2 INCHES !! - Enclosure recommanded : ONLY 0.4 SQ-FT SEALLED !! This subwoofer is designed especialy to be installed in tailgates, rear decks, just about anywhere! You may even install it "free to air" (no need of a box) but it's still better to use sealled enclosure. My friend install one of these into a Mazda Miata (no trunk space), in a "free to air" setup and it play real nice. I had one of these two years ago and I like it very much. I use it into a real real small sealled enclosure (12in x 12in x 6in) and it play REALLY nice. This subwoofer play loud but really clear. For liftback owner, you may even consider to install in directly into the hatchback cover lid!! It's only 10" wide, so you can also install some 6.5" speakers on both side of the subwoofer. What a nice setup!! Suggestion #2 : CLARION PFW1051 - Size : 10" - Type : Single Voice Coil - Power Continuous (RMS) : 300 watts - Power Peak (MAX) : 600 watts - Cone Material : Kevlar/Paper Composite - Surround Material : Co-polymer Composite - Mounting Depth : 3 INCHES This is also a great product. I'm not sure about enclosure size required, but it's probably very small like the Blaupunkt. My friend test this product and it was very nice too. Just a little bigger mounting depth however. Hope this suggestions will help some people here.

That's a great suggestion too.
But the reason why I start that thread to talk about these Blaupunkt and Clarion models it's because they are specially designed for very small space like a hatchback trunk. I saw many audio setup in liftback on this site and maybe peoples aren't knowing that special subwoofers like that exist. They aren't the most powerfull and best sounding subwoofers on the market, but they sound real good and they are the smallest subs for sure!

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=785 Ripped from my old paseo because I couldn't afford to get anything new It sounds good but takes up a fair amount of space which is kind of annoying. For example, I always have to take my girl's car grocery shopping because a weeks worth of stuffs won't fit in with that dang tube! If I had money I'd look at other options (above) but the tube works a'okay for now...

lol...11 & 1/2" mounting depth, 18" square..not exactly for tight spaces...but that is a good price for a 18" solo X :) but here is a real good one for you guys with the hatch, you can fit a 6.5" in your rear, correct? http://www.edesignaudio.com/product....pid=32&cur=USD throw one of those in each of the rear stock locations, and put a lowpass crossover on them, set at about 80 Hz. and get a nice set of components for the front, and ill bet you have a real nice setup :) |

But Pioneer carry some new low-profile subwoofers for 2006. I never try this product, but they seem to be great. Blaupunkt still carry the lower profile subwoofer with 2" mounting depth. Pionner is exactly the same size than Clarion.
PIONEER TS-SW2541D Watts MAX. Music Power : 1000 Watts Watts Nominal Power Handling : 250 Watts Frequency Response : 20 ~ 1,000Hz Sensitivity : 87dB Ohm Rating : 4 Recommended Enclosure : ONLY 0.35 ~ 0.7 Cubic Feet Dimensions : 11-1/8" x 3-1/2" Mounting Depth : ONLY 3"

I wonder if there is a 8" or 10" flat sub solution that would fit under the front seat? Maybe have the sub under one seat, and the amp under the other?
How much room is under the front seats? You might have to remove the seat to get it in there, but once it is in, should be ok. That would be great so that it doesn't take up space in the hatch, and it would be easier to wire. Space under the seats is completely unused. |

I think youd only get away with an amp (1.5" - 2.5") under the seats, otherwise youll end up running into all the existing wiring and brackets and then forget about moving the seats (or forget and slide the seats into whatever you have under them... lol)

I'll be putting this sucker in my liftback.
swx1042.jpg Carbon fiber/kevlar cone. 3000 watts peak. I'm going to put 600 RMS to this bad 10" and see what happens. They're supposed to be smooth like butter. |
