Installing Subwoofer

[Chunk11]

Due to the other half whinging it will have to be fairly discreet so I have found this:

The Bass Bin | Vibe SQ-8: 900W Speace Loaded Enclosed Subwoofer

What do you guys think? I am planning to install it where the CD changer is. Do you think it will have half decent sound or am i just wasting my money?

Many thanks

Chris

dont forget the amp or get an active version

[djswivel]

It'll sound ok, but don't expect too much bass from an 8".

[jifster]

I got one of these

.:VIBE:..:Vented Innovative Bass Enclosures:.

and I recommend you go for the 12" also. I'm sure the model your looking at also comes in a 12" with the amp enclosed.

They are very easy to disconnect and take out the boot when you need the extra space for shopping trips etc which should keep her that needs to be obeyed happy, or just buy her one of these for christmas

The Bass Bin | FLI - FT10A-PINK: 10" 800W Active Subwoofer & Enclosure (Pink)

Gillywibble has a bass box set up in his car (still awaiting the write up cough cough), im sure he will be able to help!!

I've got a 10" Infinity Basslink II in my Fabia

It's great for general use (wont win any "sound offs" but decent enough!)

It's even got another addon-4 channel amp for your speakers, I've got my front speakers amped up to 35wrms

Here's a pic in my Fabia, can still fit a pushchair in

Ah yes, would be interested to see a piccy of this :mischief:

If your gonna fit that you may as well go for something like I have ........

Still more than capable of dumping a weeks shopping in there and the new pushchair fits as well (not at the same time though)

As has been said above,you could probably fit a small sub box in your boot without losing much boot space or you could also build a custom enclosure like i and others have like this

[Chunk11]

That custom enclosure is nice. Did you make that yourself or did you get a car audio place to make it for you?

thanks

I have a similar one I bought off a Brisky member. I don't think you can get them for the Octavia. You could try Auto Acoustics or Audioscape, they might do them. Or you can get any decent ICE installer to knock one up, prepare to pay quite a bit for it though! They aren't too tricky to make, if you're confident with a jigsaw and working with fibre glass. I much prefer my way of buying someone elses hard work off them... cheaply!

with you on that one

I agree, looks very neat. Take it you can't buy this for the octavia though

Yes i made it myself and whilst i was doing it i cut another matching panel for the other side for my amp,cd changer and sat nav drive,but its not hard if your willing to give it a go,either that or you could approach a local car audio shop and see what it would cost but would imagine it could be expensive

Say....errr.... you don't happen to remember the dimensions you used to create this box

[sms]

gillywibble wheres yours?

[DizMeisTa]

dimensions would be great!

[Dan Walton]

If you're all asking for dimensions on the custom builds, it's just a case of fibreglassing up the back and cutting a template a bit ofMDF to fit for the front, no hard and fast dimensions to tell, really. Or are you asking what the dimensions are of one thats already been made?

[DizMeisTa]

fibreglassing up the back?

how would u do that?

[Dan Walton]

Have a look around talkaudio.com, there are a few guides on there.

Sorry,i never kept any info

[Rooster]

You can get a custom box for the Octavia (Chris has already contacted me)

See pictures in thread http://briskoda.net/forums/ice-security-insurance/sub/97822/

These currenty retail at £190 from Auto Acoustics (www.autoacoustics.com) Give Paul Godden a call on 01403 823628 or email [email protected] - tell em Mark Everett sent ya.

Seems expensive, but definitely worth the money when you consider the amount of time it would take to make something yourself to this standard.

[Dan Walton]

Umm, mods delete this if I'm being naughty but there are a few people here they might be interested. I have a custom sub box for sale in the classifieds at the mo...

[Johnny50]

Anyone got any suggestions for a sub in a fabia.

Ideally a box that could be easily removed if space was neeed.

I built an underfloor amp rack [liftable for access to the spare wheel] and use a 12" tube which lifts out when I need the space. All looks standard fit without the tube in
