has anyone successfully made a forward firing sub enclosure for the stock bose subwoofer location (directly behind the driver's seat)? I have seen the Zenclosure that fits in that location, and I'm a tad disappointed that it doesn't face the cabin, the smaller volume of the enclosure (my kicker CVR 10" reccomends enclosures 0.8-3.0 cu. ft.), as well as the some-what limiting mounting depth maximum of 5.34" considering my kicker has a mounting depth of 5.5625"

I really value my trunk space, so an under-the-strut style enclosure really doesn't appeal to me that much. If one does not exist, I'll likely be making one. Depending on the result, I may end up posting the design to get some feedback on it.

Thanks in advance

 

I have an L7 10' behind the seat that will stop your heart. You have to mold the box out a bit to get mag to clear but plenty of air space there.

 

For acoustical purpose you understand that it's actually better pointing aft loading up in the corner formed by the rear hatch window right? Seems counter intuitive.

Also the low frequencies that the sub-woofer ought to be working at are non-directional.

 

is it firing forward? if so, did you make your enclosure yourself?

i'm more disappointed that if i was going to put a sub behind the drivers seat, the only direction i'd want it firing was into an acoustic region of the vehicle, not down into the cavity just over the gas tank. I was, overall, not thrilled with how the sub was mounted in the zenclosure.

 

think you're talking about the wickedcas FG box that fits into the OE Bose subwoofer area and has the subwoofer facing down...Zenclosures doesn't have that type of box.

 

sorry bout that...yes, you are correct, its the weickedcas FG box
