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?

 

the back of the short bus is huge... just push them up against the back of the back seats

 

ive got a 12" in the tire well. and still have space to put 3 hockey bags/sticks with 2 passengers

 

are you gonna bolt up the 12' if you get a flat?

 

nah, ill call my dad to bring my spare.

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

 

no i dont have one over it. im thinking of getting a grill over it. im pretty careful when i put stuff ontop of it.

 

i figured just bouncing around it would mess up...

 

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.

its not the subs its all in how you build the box.

we have put over 10 in a crx. its all in the creativity.

 

Just finished installing an 8" Bazooka tube.Sounds good,small size,and comes out in about 4 seconds.

 

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.

 

This is where i put mine. Best sub/amp combo IMO. I have the 10" but ima upgrade to the 12".

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.
