Not bad for $90+ a pair

requieres a vented box of 0.40 cuft with a 2" diameter vent by 7" long, for an F3 of 44Hz.

I wasn't thinking going that deep, I'm considering 6 or 8 inches of firewall/floor, I'll try to sketch some thing out, do you have the physical dimensions of the I6SW, looks pretty massive!

Ok, this is only a sketch (it's a cross section parallel to the car, right in the middle of the passenger's seat) these are my thoughts in paper and it's only an idea, I took some liberal dimensions and I don't know the specs of the I6SW so I'm assuming 7 inches in diameter and about 6 inches depth.

I know I could shrink every thing a little bit more, and/or change the angle of the mini-woofers.

I thought it this way because my wife usually takes her shoes off and she could rest her feet on top, well not in winter until its warm and cozy, but that is once in a while, 99% of the time I drive alone. I'm going to have to make a mock up and sit my self to get a feeling on how bad the space would be!

E-mail to you D. There are possibilities here. it's just about how much we want to put into it. The nice thing about these Imagines is the reverse surround. That allows for excursion without having to worry about the surround rubbing.

I knew that there was a "why" behind the HAT driver's design! I think I asked before, but I kind of knew the answer!

Looking into the glove box area too.

Not a lot of space, the glove box as is, it's about 0.15 cuft, using all the space of the glove box I'm guessing about 0.25 cuft.

I'm still on the idea under the glove box/fire wall....

I kinda looked around up there too when the idea came up. Decided I needed my glove compartment more and stuck with the trunk placement. I really like the idea of having it up front. But unless I glassed off the entire bottom access to the dash, I couldnt find a good way to get space for a cabinet.

I know what you mean...

A few days with the sub up front and it's not going back to the trunk!
I hope the idea of the I6SW works even if it's under the glove compartment in a removable enclosure.

We can probably extend the top of the enclosure you have illustrated UP to just under the AC/Heater unit... That may give you the ability to flatten the front of the enclosure out a little.

You may also want to think about making the subs fire onto the firewall area and have an inch or two of space from the firewall and the bottom of the woofer. Still having the woofers in a sealed enclosure of course. Think of it liek a downfiring setup, except aimed to the firewall instead of down.

I'm looking for dimensions, then I could mock up in place. How much bigger than the L6s are the I6SW?

I'm going to call it... "Foot Massage" as a sales point... LOL

I'm plying with the L6s ring's in the area below the glove compartment, I'll shoot some pictures tomorrow.

Awesome!


Sqcomp... did you just change your avatar?

I just couldn't stop thinking about it, here are some pictures with the L6 rings, they are about 8" in diameter. I sit down for a minute to see how bad it is, It's ok as long as you don't want to stretch your legs.

Now I have to calculate how much space is behind there, and take in consideration the thickness of the MDF if any. May have to glass the area and fill it up and check the internal volume.
