[QUOTE="mactube, post: 8795428, member: 686145"] So I just installed by 10" subwoofer into the door of a storage compartment behind the passenger seat of my Slingshot. The Subwoofer is held by a thick hood board on the back of the plastic door ( the hole compartment is plastic like the majority of the interior of the Polaris slingshot) The door sits pretty tight and is sealed with some from and the lock gives it extras stability , but of cause nothing but a wooden enclosure which can be about $500. Thats why I'm trying to work my way around that. I don't now the Watts of the sub ( its a 10" Memphis ) powered by an about 150 RMS Alpine Subwoofer amp. which was installed by a shop ( but I'm not Sure if they really knew what there were doing from how they answered my questions about some stuff) The Sub and Amp worked great together in a truck ( where the sub was in a square box) Now... the Sub wobbles a lot in and out but don't produce a strong bass sound. As you can see in the video clip even with the radio on just on 10 -15 % Volume .. just a low wobbly sound ... I'm assuming because of the big not stable housing !? So just stuffed some jackets in there to see it it makes a difference with the housing space / back pressure. It just only slightly helped. Is this really because of the enclosure, or might this also be about the head unit and maybe because of the " low-high splitter " they installed because they said there are no real outlets for the amp to be connected to. I should also add, that I didn't install the level remote for the sub amp because I din't have the cable yet, that way I would turn the base down if maybe to much power / bass focus goes to the subwoofer!? Looking forward to some ideas and helpful advice.
