Subwoofer (how big is too big?)
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to see what the general thoughts were on size when looking at installing subwoofers in the S2000. I have been given the green light to get some sounds put in by my wife and have seen a few different set ups on the site but wanted to know what people thought overall (maybe they wish they had a different set up).
thanks for the input!

depends on what you want. sealed boxes are the most typical in this car for space reasons. i have a single 12" in a zen enclosures box for the tool well. throwing about 400 watts RMS, its great with a hard top and very good with the top down. but i highly recommend a mono amp to drive just the sub.

I have a 10" sub in the passenger footwell. It is more than enough. It's even great top down at freeway speeds. Advantage, no lost trunk space and kept the spare tire and tools.

There is a lot of aspects which go into how much sound pressure a sub puts out aside from its size. The amount of power being thrown at it along with the the box its installed in and sound dampening treatment. For example Guess which one of these subs below will put out more sound pressure (they are both 8' subs):
I would pick a sub size based on the type of bass I want and the music I listen to. Generally, but not always the case, the smaller the sub the tighter the bass will be and larger will be boomier. 12's pretty common because it gives the best of both worlds. I prefer a 10 myself.
Another thing to consider is the size and type of box. Some subs thrive in sealed enclosures while others do better in ported. Because of the space constraints of the s2000's trunk you wont see many people running ported since a ported box takes up more space. Keep that in mind when comparing subs.
Also deadening your trunk with some dynomat or equivalent brand product will effect the bass output and quality you are getting.
I'm running a 10" PSI sub custom built to run optimally in the tool well. Its seeing 1000w rms @ 2ohm. It can reach stupid loud levels when cranked.
