Advice On Subwoofer

[gazza0210]

Hi Everyone,

Im gonna be delving into fitting a Sub (or two) in the boot of my Is200. I just wanted to ask a few questions from the experienced people here who have already loaded their motor with Bass.

Is porting the sub through the ski-hatch the best option to get the bass into the cabin or is bass transfer into the cabin not an issue with the IS.

I was thinking of going for two 12,s. Probably one of those Vibe setups, not sure if im gonna get a standard ported enclosure or bandpass but does anyone have any experience with this make of sub, especially in an IS and does it give desired results.

Thanks for any responses in advance, all and any help will be appreciated.

have a look at the sub install HERE or search for member redz with mb quart install - depends how far you want to go with it but many top end ice installers say the lex is best ported through empty rear parcel shelf speaker holes once oem speakers removed with upgraded front door spkrs etc

Really? through empty hole in the parcel shelf?? well bugger me!!

I originally just put mine in the boot. The i decided to take the ski hatch out and face the sub through there instead. when i took the back seats out i noticed quite a bit of sound proofing so that got removed while i was at it and it sounds alot better now
