Just wondering if anyone has replaced the stock subwoofer speakers under the seat?
What brand / size woofer did you use?

Do I understand this correctly? You have or want a trailer behind your smart with a generator and subwoofer for your bass? I am getting old.B-52 Professional: Precision For Your Passion
Mounts on the trailer behind the open tailgate. Audio drop from the old woofer to the input of the 1.2 KW bass amp is pins 5 and 6 of the trailer light plug. Power is from a Honda EU3000i mounted behind the speaker in a Hayes custom cooled enclosure with Hayes keyless push button start marked BASS BOOST:

The 12A charger output recharges the Smart battery on BASS BOOST via pins 7 and 8 connections in the trailer plug. You can run it at the beach for 12 hours without refueling, wide open...if nobody calls the cops.
Mine IS bigger than YOURS.

I know this is an old post, but if I can manage to get back to town, you'd be welcome to come out to the shop and build something. I am the Wood-master (I'll show you the walnut-wrapped inlaid burl satellite/subwoofer combo I did (for the house -- wouldn't fit in the smart). rigging up something won't be too hard.I wouldn't spend any time on the under the seat sub - it's not worth it. Our door speakers are bigger than the "sub" driver in that enclosure. Instead, the under-the-dash option is the way to go and will put out a LOT more sound than something that fits under a seat. Personally, $300 for a box and driver is WAY too high, I'll be making my own box one of these days. The amp will then go under the passenger seat.
I think Larry was being a little tongue-in-cheek on that one. But do notice the steep filter at 30 HZ -- these are made for bands, not high-fidelity sound reproduction.Do I understand this correctly?

I put a Boss powered sub woofer under the passenger seat. Works and fits great. Got it on Ebay slightly used for $75. Of course I am old, so I don't need it to rattle the dashboard of the car next to me at the light.I wouldn't spend any time on the under the seat sub - it's not worth it.
