Hey All,
I'm trying to run down all the different ideas for subwoofer installations in an Odyssey. I'd like to start this thread to try to distill what people have done and what seems to work well/sound good. I'm currently trying to work on a highly customized solution, but having 1 toddler and another baby on the way, I don't have time to do as much as I'd like for this Odyssey system....
My goal is to do a non-obtrusive solution that does not eliminate the spare tire, allows the third row seat to operate without moving the sub, and keeps the car looking as stock as possible....
Here's what I've seen on this website and elsewhere:
1) Kelton Bassworks Sub - perhaps a bit boomy and not the most powerfull, though well integrated.
2) 6.5" powered or unpowered Bazooka in the left rear corner where the headrests are usually stored.. (VideoNavi has a nice pic!)
3) Subsolutions custom bandpass solutions in the same rear corner.. Some models need some corner shaving.. My question is how do you mount this securely?
4) JL Audio 8.1 Microsub (http://www.jlaudio.com/enclosures/81microsub.html)... I don't particularly like the JL sound, but I think this might actually fit in the same left rear corner... Does anyone have one, and does it fit? I haven't tried...
5) 6"x9" in the rear door (done by several people), potentially use a low profile sub instead... (this scares me, and would probably rattle like crazy unless you totally dynamat the door and seal it up really great.. MAJOR WORK INVOLVED!)
5) Larger Bazooka tubes just thrown in the back area, with a long speaker wire.
6) Your standard small sealed box (custom or off the shelf) thrown in the back. Or for that matter, an enclosure thrown in the back..
7) Anyone know if Qlogic or JL are planning on making an Odyssey stealth sub?
Other Ideas:
- spare tire-well sub... Could do a custom fiberglass enclosure with a shallow 8" on top of the spare, with a custom cover to allow bass to get through... (lots of work)
- custom under-the-seat sub... could try to leverage KB's idea, perhaps mount under one of the middle row seats for more space...
