Shallow Subwoofer Option
I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth.
It's being crammed behind the seat of a regular cab pickup. I have about ..95ft^3 of airspace to work with, but depth is my real issue. I have about 4.5" to work with, which seems to be about an inch less than most 10" need. I know I can find some 8"s to work, but are there any shallow 10"s that would work better than a good 8"? If not, any recommendations for a good 8"? How about a small monoblock to go w/ it? My last sub/amp setup was a Crystal CMP12 and the back 2 channels of ESX Q1204 bridged... I miss the days of my hatchback.. Any suggestions appreciated. trey |

Blaupunkt's new version of the Overdrive subs are VERY shallow, due to using
a flat piston instead of a cone-shaped diaphragm... David UnderTheDash.com "Trey Bradshaw" wrote in message ... I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth.

I saw those, but I guess i'm skeptical of their performance just b/c of the
odd design. Maybe I can find someone near me who has some I can listen to.. trey "David" wrote in message ...

If you could find one, Illusion Audio made one of the best shallow depth
subs ever. They turn up on forums and ebay. Their SQ is second to none. "Trey Bradshaw" wrote in message ... I'm in the market for a subwoofer that needs to have a very shallow depth.

I agree, Illusion Audio is what you want and the box volume is about right
for an Illusion nd-10. see here for more info "C & C Machine, Inc." wrote in message news If you could find one, Illusion Audio made one of the best shallow depth subs ever.

Earthquake Sound (Silicon Valley) makes a patented, very shallow depth
driver called "SWS" (shallow woofer system). It's probably on their website: www.earthquakesound.com P. "Trey Bradshaw" wrote in message ...

Shallow Subwoofer Option
I just installed a MTX Thunderform behind the seat of my regular cab
S-10. The box fits very nicely with a 10" sub. It is a special ..7-ohm speaker that is matched to a 100-watt amp. It's definitely OK, but the speaker seems a little muddy--not really great. I like the box--if I were doing it over again I would use their box, which fits just great, and add my own speaker and amplifier. "Trey Bradshaw" wrote in message ...
