as most cab owners will know the speakers are absolute pants ! :(

I want to add a little more Bass, nothing silly ,

I am sure I read somewhere that a small sub can be bought, that fits under the seat out of view ? has anyone done this, or knows of a manufacturer that sell them ?

:D

I was talking to a guy in a motor spares place today about what to do about some bass in my chromie and I said I wasn't keen on having a sub in the boot shaking the thing to bits and actually delivering little bass into the cabin, he suggested these.

i just replaced the speakers from my cabby, i took out the front ones which were pioneer 30watt, i dunno how they survived. dropped sum 240w in there and a bass box in the back, the sound quality gets better with the roof down.

But he doesn't want a sub in the boot!

Those under seat versions look a good option. Anyone experienced them and the quality???

I too suffer from lack of bass and do not want some council lash up taking up already depleted boot space due to the convertibles design. The rear quarters are not as deep as you'd think and I've tried components in there and most won't go as the magnets too big :(
