Hello........
I have created a subwoofer to match the center space between the 2 front seats.
This automotive interior is a challenge to upgrade and good sound has escaped me for over a year now. I have been running with this set up for the past 9 months now. Using a great 8" sub, the JBL GT804 , I built a ported box to match the subwoofers specs exactly. The emergency brake stays in the factory spot, and the sub box was designed in the remaining space.
Though, probably not a new concept here on the forum, this is a much better alternative to an upgraded factory sub in the stock location:
1. A bigger sub in the factory location makes the dash rattle.
2. The sub is in an extremely small space; equals lower low end output.
The JBL performs very well in this ported box.
The sub box is designed to stay in place with the armrest down.
The padding of the seats secures side to side movement.
Below the sub box is a 1/2 piece of MDF covering the opening where the center console used to be.
Strengths:
Great output for a small 8in driver.
The subwoofer fits tight with the seats. This transforms box energy to the seats where you sit "tactile". You definitely feel this sub.
The sub woofer is centrally located , bass is output in separate directions.
