Default Stealth Sub for Convertible

Some of you may have missed my posting of this page in the electronics forum, so here it is:

I wanted a sub that would take up almost no space, including the pass-through under the rear window, and that would lose nothing when the top was down. I also wanted to keep the rear seats.

The box goes down to around 24 hz, and sounds great.

Now that's a hell of a good idea. I cannot believe I didn't think of that before I put a 200lb. box/subs in my trunk.

nice work for sure! Looks cleand and with the woofer so close to you while driving, you wouldn't need a high powered woofer as well.

I got a similar idea when we finally did my subs. I already had a rear seat delete box so, we just used that for an enclosure, well, sorta, and covered it up with the lid... you couldn't tell there are speakers there unless you turn it on.

great fiberglass work and write-up!
