Hello

I'm looking for a bit more base in the touring. I'm not onto massive subs that take up the hole boot. I have been looking at some under the seat subs.

Any recommendations

ive found that space saver subs are very desirable and the market knows it!! expect to pay a hell of a lot of money for a half decent space sub..
ive fitted a 6'' and a 8'' that sound insane for the size but they was about £500 per sub :O

my advice is to grab a 10'' or 12'' vibe space, can pick em up for under a ton, some are pre-amped too :D
but it all depends on what sort of bass u are after, a 10'' will give a nice kick but if you want deep bass go for a 12''
hope this helps

Are these sort of subs any good? I'd like to get rid of the sub I have in the boot of my car but don't want to lose the bass i get from it.

When i was planning a sensible, stealthy sub for the touring, I was very tempted to put a 10" or even 12" sub in the spare wheel well (just carry a can of that tyre stuff instead of a spare!!), or maybe just build an 8" or small 10" into one of the rear side compartments!!!!
Just look for something that wants a fairly small, sealed enclosure!!

However, when i got the cabby, I was gonna get a sub properly built in to replace the glovebox!!!

Not got round to the sq cabby install, and there's now a monster JL taking almost the whole boot of the touring!!! Lol!!!

They're robust enough to sit in the boot and luggage be loaded on top of them...therefor fitting into the whole space save category!!
