Default Subwoofer behind seat.

Hey Guys. I just bought a Base 07 350Z and im looking to beef up the stereo system. I was thinking about changing the door speakers for some Kicker components and I wanted to put a subwoofer behind the seat because I want to keep it discreet the way it is on the other Z's. Has anyone done this before?

I wish I had that picture of Picard holding his head in his hand.

Yes, it has been done before.

There is empty air behind your seat. Grab the box from Wicked Cas and search this website.

This box is a bit pricey, but it is the only way I would recommend doing a sub in the factory Bose location. Unless you wanted to fab up your own fiberglass box, but if you were savvy enough for that you wouldn't be asking if it could be done.

You could also ghetto rig it with a ton of dynamat in hopes of making it sealed. It won't sound nearly as good as an enclosure but it'll sound 10 times better than with it being open air as it is now.

Nissan thinks putting a sub behind the drivers seat in that glove box is a good idea , so it has to be right LOL
