Wink Powered Subwoofer

Does anyone have any suggestions for a powered subwoofer that fits under the seat? I was looking at the JBL BassPro Nano.

Thanks!

Not under the OEM seat. But, I use a powered Focal sub behind each seat. Works well.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply! I have a quick follow up - it's probably a dumb question, but can you slide the seat all the way back with the Focal sub behind it? I'm asking because I can't fit in the car without the seat all the way back.

Thanks again!

Yes, with about 1-inch to spare.

And that's with the seat tilted all the way back? I'm kind of surprised...

No I don't tilt my seat all the way back. Let me try.

It hits when the seat is fully reclined. You are going to need a powered trunk sub.

Thanks for taking the time to check your seat - I appreciate it.

Have a great weekend!

You too! Happy 4th!

BTW... these subs single-handedly transformed the audio. Roof up or down. The rest of my system is Alpine head unit with auxiliary amp for the front and headrest speakers. Each door has Alpine full range and tweeter.

I placed a Pioneer underseat in passenger footwell, under carpet. Completely invisible.

I cut a slot in the white foam wedge that resides under carpet.

Consumes zero footwell space.

There is now a Pioneer powerwd sub specifically meant for passenger footwell of smaller cars. Meant to mount under dash (whereos would be visible and potentially interfere with feet), but it would be even easier to graft into foam wedge than what I did. I would recommend that unit.

Can the seat recline back at all with these sub boxes?

Do you have a picture of your sub installed and what's the model of the new pioneer?
