did u read my post above?

 

so ur talking legroom in teh foot well, cause teh point of my post was under the seat subs, not in teh footwell subs.

 

I think this might be the install to which you are referring:

10" sub with much metal hacking




The S2Ki member is ws2000. The site nicely documents his installation, but that kind of structural cutting is a little too much for me. Heck, any metal cutting and I think my S2K will feel pain...


(Sorry I got to this thread a little late, I just wanted to provide the link.)

 

Blacks2k, another possibility is under the dash. I was able to inconspicuously add a subwoofer under the drivers dash (above my legs). I found a relatively large space for a custom chamber while poking around up there.

Since you have a RHD car the internals might be a little different, but if everything is reversed you would put it under your drivers dash on the right.


In a LHD from the drivers seat, below steering level: The binding posts are accessible through the removable panel next to the radio:


From the Right higher up: It disappears at normal eye level.

 

nice, what sub u use, and how did u fabricate that box?

 

Thanks, it's the JL Audio 6W0 and the fabrication/install thread is here:

I basically made a dummy shape that would fit in that spot, then fabricated a chamber molded to that shape out of fiberglass. It was my first time ever working with fiberglass so it was kind of a learning experience.

I think my goals were like yours in that I wanted to add a sub without sacrificing space in the trunk or the footwell. So I've got the sub under the dash, one amp hidden above the fuel tank, and another amp sitting in the spare tire. And of course I have all storage space available in the car and I didn't have to give up the spare tire.

I really enjoy the sound.

If you decide to do it please read the safety disclaimer in the thread linked above.

 

I've decided not to use the bass shakers, since I can't afford to buy an amp right now due to my turbo going in. Maybe someone else will have a better use for them.
