Subs are big. Fit is small.

So where the heck do you put them? Where in the car are you guys throwing your subs? I don't want to lose a lot of space, but even putting that aside, I cannot visualize a pretty place for them. Advice? Also maybe some advice on subs under $200?

Do you have some sort of plate over it? Aren't you afraid you will destroy it by putting things on it?

flat repair kit and electric compressor FTW.

a good 10" sub can esily fit behind the smaller seat on the back and not take up too much space. for under $200 with good well rounded performance a JL audio 10W1v2 would be really good.

Anyone wanna buy a nice sub box, would have to come pick it up though! Would just take up too much space for me. I am thinking about getting an Infinity Basslink

I am totally happy with my new JL box. Model # is CP108LG-W3v3. It's a ported box with an 8-inch driver. Here's a link so you can see what it looks like:

I paid just over $200 at my local installer's shop and am running it bridged from 2 channels of my 4 channel amp. It is a very nice size for the fit.

I worked on submarines for 12 years (as a civilian). I've never seen one for under $200 and have no idea where one could put one on a Fit.

These people make amazing sub boxes. I own the under seat one for my xB, and you cant even see that it is there. Prices are great, and quality is excellent. I contacted them about making one for the Fit and they said they currently dont have any plans.

If enough of us inquire, they will probably see the demand and put it into theri plans.

I've got a JL 10w3v3 in a 1.5 cu.ft box mounted longways behind the right seat (it fires toward the left side of the car). This lets you drop 60 portion of the 60/40 seats for the most room without removing the box.

Audiobahn ATB10AT installed today

Here is where i got it. Looks like they are on backorder on the 10 and 12" but im sure u can find it on ebay.

There are plenty of shallow subs hitting the market now-a-days. Some of them honestly perform similarly, if not better, than a considerable amount of "normal" subwoofers. RE Audio's new shallow sub offers a shallow mounting depth that packs a good punch. It's not a SQ derived subwoofer, but more geared towards their target customers - sounding pretty good while still getting loud. You can easily fit one of their 12's flush in your spare tire well. You'll also save yourself a couple hundred bucks compared to buying a tw5.
