Floormount subwoofer

[Silverycivic]

Hi, want to get a subwoofer that can mount under the front passenger seat, budget around $300, any brand to recommend ? Tks.

[Kermit]

With that budget, I believe you are referring to active-subs? Otherwise, you may have luck with passive subs with a slim form factor (can fit under the seat). Anyone care to recommend a decent active sub around that price range? Maybe someone who is using an active sub currently can help?

[Silverycivic]

Still keeping my option open. Doing a bit of search to narrow the choice before deciding. Tks for the help.

I am currently looking for subs too and recently i saw a 5 inch sub from focal k series.

 

I will be poping by the NY shops to ask around about it cause now i am short of subs...

 

Tot of getting two and installing it under the front passengers seats... but still ned to audit...

 

Has anyone tried the 5 inch??

 

any reviews??

This thing cost $280 with installation. At this price, I would say the sound is value for money.

My bro just installed one Focal K series 5" sub at the centre console. It sound fine. I feel it will be great if 2 are installed. Defintely good upfront bass..

[Ivan0507]

if u installed the sub correctly at the rear boot,u also can feel bass from the front seat.even you can feel your front seat vibrating like hell.

[Biccat]

I am interested to audition it. Can you provide me with the shop which retails this?

[Ilovesupremo]

Of course. The 5" Sub is for those with miserable small boot space or they dun want give up the boot space. But it is a good investment for daily listening. Bear in mind, they can never go as low as a 12" sub..

[Ilovesupremo]

That's interesting question.Let u know when i free to try on my bro car.

Wei Bro,

Got any links to a website for more info?

I went to the Focal website and could only find only info on minimum 10" sub-woofers. Must be looking at the wrong place

Thanks!

within the limited confines of a car, how low can the frequencies go? the wavelengths of low frequencies are very very long, bear in mind. so the assumption that a 12" driver gives lower frequencies than a 5", is not always true. what is true is that it has the ability to move much more air & as a result, sound much louder. a good low frequency driver is essential, without which music will sound overly bright, thin and without scale. bad and wobbly low frequencies will mask and cloud whatever fine details, transparency and soundstaging of the music. a good, single 8" driver would be ideal. it gives decent amount of low frequencies, enough for any rational listening, and all else being equal, an 8" will produce tighter low frequencies with more definition than a 12".
