New Thin Line Subwoofer

[iconpyro]

I just placed an order for a thin line TW5 Line 12 inch sub from JL. Since you guys are trying to find a thin sub that will fit under the seat you guys might want to look into building a box like evilution specified but maybe changing the subwoofer size and type. I am going to fabricate a simple square box, 14 X 14 (maybe a little wider that is 3 inches deep. The speaker is a 2.5 inches deep meaning it can fit in a very small area. I am going to measure out the back and the area behind the seats to see if it is doable. After that its box building time (my specialty).

This requires a very small amount of space compared to a normal sub.

Here is a picture of the sub from JL's site:

build the right box and use the right amp and that thing will hammer. seat might vibrate a ton but it will sound great. have used thoses subs in a couple of install and they are great. if you have the space under the seat which is not much u might want to consider making the box for down firing.

Are these dual voice coils?

Do think you will be able to get .63cubes out of your box?

Depends on placement... I am going to measure everything out in the car.. Under the seat is pushing it... I forgot someone has to sit in that seat to (my girlfriend) and I do not think she wants a vibration under her tush...

My second option is just building a thin line box with enough space for some air flow in the box. Since I am on limited trunk space I do not want the box taking up the whole cargo area.

I agree with you 100%. Good you brought up the vibration, I do not think my girlfriend will like that.
