Woofer in V6

[wrx-172]

I know the sound of the V6 is already good enough but there comes a time when you just need to listen to a different type of music!

I have a good setup at the moment with JVC Headunit and 2 sets of excellent component speakers however wanting to add just a little bass.
Amping the component speakers up just don't crack it as set for high end sound which is great but looking to add a sub.

With little room available and not wanting to create any type of install was thinking of the following :- SWD-1600 Active Bass Tube
For under seat mounting.

Read a few reviews on these and sounding just waht I am after but just wondering if anyone had heard these in action?

There are lots of good active subs that fit under the seats, they are good if you dont have the space but often are small and output is weak compared to a normal one.

you could have a custom box made for the footwell or the luggage shelf, this is currently what im looking in to.

I know subs are the way forward as got a decent system in my 172 but dont want any sort of build in the V. Plus dont want anything on show.
As said not looking for real deep base just after a punch which high end components dont really achieve.

Cheers for comments anyway guys and Ronin let me know how you get on with custom box mate.

I built myself a custom box out of MDF, and will carpet-it.

Currently, it houses a 12" sub 'n' amp, so a little big to go under the seat - but it's the idea that counts: easily achivable with a 10" sub IMO.

You'd never know it's there, once carpeted and placed behind/under the drivers seat.

i brought a boston acoustics 8" sub off bryan, it's excellent and so small

As mentioned already get a active sub, you should find one out there that will fit in the V6's boot.

doubt it and its way to hot in there to put a sub. And with the ebgine between the sub adn your ears i dont think the sub would be very efficient.

How about something like this: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pro...d=4500&cadid=02bcee3aac0a8a6bb13ed1edc0ad798e

Thinking about one for my Clio (non-V6 ) - I need my entire boot for other stuff...
