been looking for reviews exactly like this to upgrade my stock set up & keep a stock look. This is exactly what i have in mind, Active front stage, amplified with an active sub under the false floor in the trunk. Thx man!

Sounded good in the cargo Area in the spare tire well. We’ve done them under the seat too but in the area we installed it in it gave the woofer space to resonate in the cab instead under the seat. I thought I’d sounded very good in that area

Thanks for your comment. Under the seat doesn’t really give the bass a chance to travel and develop… if you have time and are willing try under the back seat or behind it if you can. In the car we put it in I was surprised with how good it sounded but it was away from the drivers seat enough for the bass to resonate around the cab. Under the driver seat really doesn’t give it that ability….

@@BreakersStereo I'll try moving it to the center hump and see if that helps. Only a few days till the return deadline for Amazon. I have been doing some more research and I think I'm going to end up doing a single 8 in the storage under the rear seats. If I combine the jack and storage compartments I can get about .7 ft of air. .65 ft after my sound deadening and a couple layers of fiberglass. I'm thinking a single 8 would do best. Either sealed or with a passive. Looking at dd sl608 and the earthquake slaps m8 tuned at 34hz which is the fs of the sl608 im hoping this will center my frequency peak around there. Any advice on woofer choice or enclosure design is appreciated greatly.

If you can fit an SL610 under there in a sealed box, do it! The SL608 is decent but needs a ported box to play its best. The SL610 or SL612 can easily handle 600 W RMS power and either one plays well below 30 hz in a sealed box. DD just released loaded SL enclosures, the SL608 is in a ported box but the SL610 and SL612 are in sealed boxes. The SL608 ported box is bigger than the SL610 sealed box. I installed 2 SL612s under the cargo floor of my SUV in a custom 1.5 cu ft sealed box, gave them 1500 W RMS, and they sound amazing with zero loss of cargo space.

There is hope, I'm a bass head (not a basehead) and I'm down to just 2 underseat subs (Kenwood PSW8 and this Alpine). So addiction recovery is possible. This Alpine sounds good and thumps strong, the Kenwood sounds better it has much warmer bass and you can hear smooth bass guitar more defined than this Alpine. But the Kenwood don't last long, mine is toast and will be replacing with something else.

Suitable for hatchbacks or any small car. For small SUV above component system is better. One thing I dont fancy this setup is if it gets damaged you lose whole bass system while in component system one gets damaged you save another. Like a sub blows atleast you have the amplifier and you can just get another sub replacement.

Between this and the JBL Bass Pro Nano, which one deliveres more of the low end punch? I just installed some aftermarket Focal speakers in my Jetta Hybrid and lost a lot of low end (65hz and below) compared to the stock full range. The mids and highs now sound so much better, but I'm looking to refill those missing lower frequencies and possibly make the low end sound better than what my stock used to produce. Your input would be much appreciated.

It's worth it because not everyone, in fact most people are not wanting car audio to be built to enter SPL Drag races. I'm looking at adding one of these types of low profile subs to my current ride to get me more of that full spectrum audio, plus my head unit has built in high pass and low pass filters so that I can roll off deep bass from my fronts and rear speakers allowing them to not have to work as hard. 😎👍
