Default Six 15' subs in my xB - Build thread...
The work has begun. The tray you see in photo #1 will hold two 19" computer monitors for the video display. It will be pointing towards the back of the xB.

Yes, that's SIX 15inch subs. ;)

No, the back seat is gone.

Stay tuned for more next week.

It's much bigger than it looks in the photos. As wide at it can be to still fit in the back and from the back of the hatch all the way to the back of the front seats.

That still seems awfully small. What subs are you going to be running?

I only need one for this application. The exact setup was suggested by the guys at ED. I'm not going to do any DB drags, just want a nice crisp sound with a "WOW" look.

16 Kv.2's Believe me, It's big enough. In fact it's a little on the big side. Is not going to be ported.

IMO, parallel each subs voice coils, than parallel those wires together for a final load of 1 ohm on the amp.
