Does anyone have any pictures of a subwoofer in the back of their trunk/boot for an 07 mini? I will be upgrading my stereo system shortly and I would like some ideas for the subwoofer. Thanks

 

I recently added a subwoofer in the boot. The subwoofer box is nothing special, but I have bass now. I haven't taken any pics yet. Sorry.

 

I need pix and how you hooked it up to the system details.

 

Stealth box w/ a JL audio sub. Made to fit mini's.

 

It's an '04 MCS, but would work in an '07 no doubt, as long as you aren't too attached to having backseats.

 

I didn't do the install. I bought it to a local audio shop. He used the rear speaker to get the signal to the amp. That's all I know.

 

big newt have you had any progress on hooking one up. I bought mine, started trying to take apart the dash and got stuck. I dont know where to go from here. can anyone help? pictures?

 

Are you saying there is a Stealth box and sub for the mini?? If so, do you have a pics??

I'll be making a mini subwoofer box pretty soon with the mini logo on it. Sits pretty low in the boot, light also. Will post pics i can make a lot of them if people are interested.

Have fun!

Why don't you make one to fit under the passenger seat as well? There is a a false floor and pretty large compartment under there.....

the problem with the REALLY NICE one you guys built in MM's boot is, you basically loose the boot. If I pilled suitcases or something in there, the sub would be blocked.

And hurry it up!!!!!

 

can anyone post pics of the location of the factory amp for a regular
(r56)cooper s

 

There are pics on the last page of the sticky. Only the HiFi system comes with an amp.

 

Hasn't ANYONE installed a powered woofer under the passenger seat yet???

Do I have to be the first???

 

Yep Birdman... you have to go first. My 10's wont fit under there.

 

Do you have a step by step...Which RF amp did you use?

 

I don't have a step by step for installing the amp and converter as a pro shop did it for me.
The sub is powered off a punch 300.1

 

 

that is pretty sharp aaron.

 

I saw a much cleaner install in one of the other forums that had a Boston sub and the super flush mount grill...my grill sticks up about 1/2" or so above the flat part...

 

which JL is that?

 

8" single voice coil...I can't remember the model number but it was one of the lower priced JL subs...

 

did you fiberglass in the enclosure? one of the issues with this location is getting a sub shallow enough to fit below the level of the seat mounting brace. The 8W1v2 is just shy of four inches deep while the 8W3v3 is an inch deeper.

I'm going to try an MDF frame sealed right to the sheet metal with some sound dampening applied and polyfill stuffing. Should turn out ok I hope.

 

Has anyone ever tried installing a sub in the side panel of the boot? One side has the amp (for Hifi), but the other side is empty..... seems like you could get a decent sized sub in there.....
