Replacement Subwoofer

SilverFJ.LA · 04-10-2006, 10:55 PM

Anyone have any ideas of upgrading the stock 8" subwoofer with someting that actually delivers bass? Best would be 8" powered sub that could fit in existing box.

I don't have any ideas about a replacement just yet. I did take it apart to see how much room is available. The existing speaker is 4 1/2 inches deep. You have 5 inches before you hit the small junction box behind the speaker. So anything deeper than 5 inches is out of the question.

I'm having a stereo job done, the installer said anything he'd install in the sub compartment would vibrate too much, so they are doing a removable 8 inch sub in its own box.

Landrover - you must really like Bazooka equipment.
Anyway I have attached a picture of the bass equipment I had in my Avalanche. I am wondering if you could use the 1 foot thick rear door and make an enclosure out of it?? Especially since it does not have to accept a slide down rear window.

That's a really good idea, I was at the Long Beach Grande Prix last weekend and Al and Ed's had a booth with a FJ all pimped out. It had a 24 inch plasma T.V. mounted in the rear door. At the time I thought how stupid!! But the Subwoofers are much more practical!

Subs in the rear door may rattle too much; however, I was planning some exploratory disassembly of the rear door with the mounting of amps in mind. Cabling may be a prohibitive issue their. I was also thinking of making two separate sub boxes for each side of the cargo area with a 10" sub in each. Of course, my ideas will change a hundred times in the next week.
