bose sub question...

[95astrovan]

i'm in the process of tryin to get my system back to stock, and i wanna utilize the stock enclosure in the trunk to get some bass response. i know i cant get alot, but i dont listen to rap, so all i need is enough for bass guitar or a kick drum. I'm trying to figure out how i can eliminate the high's, and get only lows out of that lil enclosure...

Re: bose sub question...

Pretty sure the stock configuration already includes a lowpass crossover. But if you're not happy with it, you could make your own. If you're not that tech savvy, something like this:

Re: bose sub question...

i do believe i'd need somethin like that. i dont think there's a crossover on that trunk enclosure, just a power amp...however it's supposed to be, im gettin full range out of it...there's alot more to fine tuning this bose system than i thought lol

Re: bose sub question...

The bose head unit has a built in cross over that puts just bass to the sub. Without the stock headunit, you get full range from the sub. I put in a passive crossover but it reduced the output and it was pretty lame. You might be able to find a 6.5" speaker that will get you better bass and use the same amp.

As sweet as that one would be, I'm not sure the Bose box has the depth available to mount it. It's been a while since I've seen inside a Bose sub box, but IIRC it was pretty shallow. You might take a tape measure to it and see if that would fit, because that would certainly give you better bass.

Re: bose sub question...

Don't they make amplified stealth boxes still? Get one and be done with it. I can appreciate you wanting that stock look, but come on. Three times the bass and nobody uses that tiny area anyway.

Re: bose sub question...

lol, i'd love to get a stealth box, but for now, money is the main decision point as to what i get lol...tryin to do the best with what i have available, ya know?

and Schlotzky, i really wouldnt mind a little less output from that speaker...my doors are run straight off the HU, and w/ that amp, the back speaker w/ all it's full rangy-ness drowns out my door speakers which sound alot better than the stocker i put in the trunk...i think i might try that lil low-pass, and see where things go from there...
