JL MicroSub experiment...

[andrewb70]

I am always interested in trying new things and seeing if I can improve on what I already have. I am sure that many of you are also like that and like to "tinker" even if something is not broken.

I have been thinking about how to increase the bass response inside my car. The issue of course is packaging as subs tend to be big and require relatively large enclosures to be effective. Even modern shallow subs are pretty big and require relatively large space.

Yesterday I was looking around on the JL website and I saw the 6.5" MicroSub loaded enclosure:

The box is very small so I got my measuring tape out to see where I can install it inside the cabin. An easy solution would be to simply place it behind one of the seats. I may try that as an initial experiment to see how it sounds. However, I then started looking at the rear seat and the rear back cushion. I took them both out and as many of you know the frames are mostly hollow. I took some measurements and it looks like this little sub can be easily installed into the rear back cushion.



What do you guys think?
