ICE for an idiot (Subwoofer)

Post by trucker »

I've recently Put a nice early birthday present Alpine Mechless head unit in the bus and replaced the rear speakers with some Rockford Fosgate 10cm ones
I'm pretty pleased but would like some more bass, nothing earth shattering just a nice fuller rounder sound.
The thing is I don't want to cut my Westy interior about (yeah,yeah I know :roll: ) so I was thinking under the rear seat using the gap at the side

Would this work and what type of sub would work best
thanks in advance :ok

I have the total system by Rockford fosgate in my car ( standard fit), the sub in the boot pounds out some bass, just a thought, but try salvage yards who have higher spec Mitsubishi's in....you might just get a bargain....mine with the amp...pounds out 650 watts....so the sub will take a fair bit of abuse. :D
