Post subject:  New subwoofer box ideas... what would you want to build?
I am always looking for new projects to build. If you were to build a subwoofer enclosure, how would you do it and why? Would it run 8" speakers and go under the front seats? Maybe 8's or 10's under the back bench? Maybe a something molded against the rear cargo area?

I am looking to build something that people will want in their cars, my shop wants to see if there is any business out there for nice form fitting enclosures. The idea I have right now will sit under the rear bench, fit a 10" or maybe a 12" speaker and have the other side a nice spot to mount the amp. Nice stealthy install, and takes up no interior room, would anyone here buy one of these?

Let hear your ideas.

Of course... I'm biased, but this is my idea...

one 10, 12, or 2 10, 12's depending on woofer in the back cargo area... with amp enclosure... false floor idea...

I actually did just put 8" subs under my front seats. You can read about the install in this thread http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=14910 and see it in the link in my sig.

Post subject:  8 in. enclosure
I am looking for an 8 in. enclosure that can fit underneath the rear seat for a left over sub. I just don't know where to put it. I don't want it in the back since I sometimes carry 3 large dogs and my mountain biking stuff. I already installed my 6 disc pioneer changer under the driver's seat. Man I should have taken pictures of that.

i think if i was to do it all over again ( got 2 JL W0... 10in- and all the other little goodies) as of now i have them mounted in a truck box i made.firing towards the rear window.. small enough i can still carry some stuff in the back.. anyways if i was to do it again. i would first and foremost have the subs firing towards the seats or the floor.. i get to much window rattle. i have tried many things to fix it but gave up.. so i never have my subs to their full potential. to me i don't mind giving up some of my cargo room for something i enjoy. other people might need the room more then i do. i also don't have my sub box mounted to the floor so when i want to carry my little dirt bike in the jeep i just put the seats down and move the subs on top of the seats or can just take the box out.. to continue on if i was to get another box i would probably make a fully enclosed box and have the subs firing down. this of course would take up more room then a normal truck box. but i think it might sound better. make it so it kinda slants together at the top ( if u know what i mean) so i can push as close as possible to my seats. to be honest i would stick with 10inch subs too.. i think the maybe one 12 would be ok but 2 i think would be pushing it for me.. as for the mounting the amp under the seat. thats what i did along with my power cap, crossover, and hardline driver.

I can't wait for these to come out.
Low profile, and powerful. I like the idea of 8" subs, but I prefer my 10" for providing more bass. I like the rounded out sound that a small sub has, but I still like my sterio to hit when called to do so. I just don't want to sacrifice any otherwise useful interior space for a sterio. I did that in my VW (10" power wedge) and more often than not the (small) box was in the way when I put the seats down (usually weekly at least) and not to mention trying to fit my Mountain bike in the trunk when travelling to the bike park int he winter...

I've definetly been in the hunt for a box to go under the rear bench. If I'm going to put a system in my car I want something serious and anyone who's had a good system knows you get plenty of vibration as it is I definetly don't want it directly under my stupid. The whole reason I got a jeep was for the cargo area so the back is out of the question for me. I'd love to see something for dual 10's or a single 12 to mount under my bench.

Donkeykong, those thin-line subs are freakin awesome!! and JL's to boot can't beat that, I've been a JL man for the better part of 10years now...

I could just install a bazooka, but I've always had "traditional" subs in boxes in my cars, and would be a little weary of throwing a bazooka in my jeep without knowing more about it. :oops:
Plus isn't the amp internal? I like having the option to upgrade should power needs warrant.

2000 - Up
Jeep Liberty
Freedom, Limited, Renegade & Sport
This one's definitely got an attitude... and a powerful twelve to deliver the goods!
For Jeep's hard-nosed little “ute”, we offer a serious bass solution with a powerful 12-inch subwoofer for truly spectacular bass output and quality. This beautiful Stealthbox® blends in perfectly with the Liberty’s cargo area. A carpet-covered grille protects the woofer and hides the woofer from prying eyes.

THE HARD DATA:
Contains one 12W3v3-4 subwoofer in a sealed enclosure. 300 watt power handling. Wired for 4 ohm mono. Installs in the driver side rear cargo area. Subwoofer is protected and concealed by a color matched, carpeted, steel grille. Roll-up cargo cover remains fully functional after installation. Use of the driver’s side tie-down cleats is eliminated.

I do like JL's they are definetly my favorite sub line the stealth box still takes up my cargo area and believe me I use every last bit of it. That's exactly why I want something that's hidden somewhere that doesn't effect storage.

Why not try one or two of the factory subs?
