Recommend a compact sub

[Big G]

I currently own, but its not fitted at the mo, a http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=245712 Vibe active subwoofer. Its a great, deep, loud sub but its just too big for what i need/want.

Im going to have to get (at least) two sets of golf clubs in my boot at some point in the summer, and the Vibe unit just soaks up too much space (plus its too bloody loud!) - can anyone recommend a compact sub thats going to fill the low end of the spectrum without sacrificing too much boot space?

To bear in mind: i dont need loud, i dont need 20 Hz - i only need a compact solution to fill the bass in at normal car listening levels.

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3792Something like this maybe?

That 12" vibe unit will be for sale shortly.

i would be interested in the outcome of this aswell mate as i am in the same postition as yourself, i need basically the whole boot as i play roller hockey (same as ice) and the bags the size of a person, have you thought about a stealth box at all

how does a 8.5LF Pro Boston Acoutics sub sound? 0.3 cu ft enclosure, drops as low as a 10, yet has unreal control £80 ???

if not, have a look at the phase linear aliante si, doesnt drop too low, but its extremely low profile means it will fit in some of the shallowest enclosures

Ive ben thinking about one of http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3900these to sit under the passenger seat.

 

[Big G]

Ah ha, ive seen that too - looks like another good alternative.

 

[Nafoff]

i never knew they even did things like that

Infinity Basslink.

[Big G]

That Infinity looks like a great little unit, slightly bigger than the Pioneer unit though and probably handle the same amount of bass id need.

 

[BRUN]

if you have the cash the Phase Aliante will be the one to get

 

[Big G]

Had a look at that and its absolute overkill in terms of price and power for what im looking for.

Still, if youre looking for whopping bass in a slim profile, it certainly looks the best solution.

 

[Bryan]

Big G - you will NEVER get whopping bass from the aliante, it is 100% aimed at sound quality, nothing else

 

[Big G]

I mean whopping as in, a lot more than i need .

 

[gecko]

the general view from a certain car audio forum is that the infinity basslink is quite good for what it sets out to do. It wont be stupidly loud but will provide enough bass for a basic install

And the impression on these under seat subs? Do they manage anything useful or are they just a marketing gimmick?

 

[Bryan]

they make a noise mike, but nothing much in terms of volume nor in quality

 

[BRUN]

how much are you willing to spend ?

 

[richieroo]

im after something thatl fit under me seat and dost weigh to much - the alpine http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3900swd-1600 looks like it will fit the bill jus wondering if anybodys had any experience with them

Well im selling 2x 10" Vibe subs in a custom box if youre interested. Its in a compact box and dosnt take up too much space in the boot. It can boom pretty hard if you crank it up but sounds nice at low volume. £100 for it...
