I dont have my MINI yet, but from what ive heard the woofer isnt all that thrilling. I occasionally listen to rap and would like to know how well it can keep up. If anyone knows any aftermarket woofers that will fit well in a mini trunk and are compatible with the hk system, that would also be helpful.

 

i run a BassLink by Infinity. everyone that's been in my car
has been impressed with my stereo system... big clean sound, but only
a few hundred dollars put in.

im running a Polk DB525 in the front, the sub as above, and stock HU.
i added a MP3 player and factory aux jack along with CD changer (with Blitzsafe).

you can hit my info page for more info.

 

The factory HK speaker upgrade has a suprising amount of base for not having a separate powered subwoofer. You wont be waking up the neighbors with it but it is pretty satisfying

 

If you're using the H/K system, I attached an aftermarket sub into the amp without splitting wires.

I did a whole DIY write up here:

This is what it looks like now, after I made the custom peg board floor. (12in sub, amp under the false floor)


This is the box I used. Walmart comes through again! It's a PERFECT fit in the boot.


Let me know if you have any questions.

 

AWESOME! Thats really sweet! I'm gonna give that a try this weekend!

 

Might try asking this in Nav & Audio forum for a better response; Also take a look at the "show your Sub. install" thread for some ideas, compact and not.

 

well thanks a lot moron, i mean motor on. jk

 

It was only a matter of time.

Heres a link and I bumped the thread.

Welcome to NAM Gator! (And don't listen to ken )

 

^^

 

Agreed!

However, if you want the booty bumpin', chest thumping, rear-view-shakin'en bass... then get the extra amp and sub, cause the H/K won't take you that far.

 

Thanks!

PM me or email me if you have any additional questions. I'll be around all weekend.
