What Kind Of Sub Is This?

[Loud3 10+ year member]

If space is a major concern, there are several smaller sub drivers that will fit the bill for you.

But before we get into that, are you looking to save space, or just looking for the 'wow' factor?

I like the way it looks and I like my trunk space...

There are plenty of shallow mount subs, go small sealed. Or for even more space savings, go infinite baffle. The physical diameter of the speaker is a small portion of the story of how much room the entire system will occupy.
You like the look? It looks like it was installed by someone who doesn't have much of a clue what they were doing. Sure the fiberglass looks good, but the concept is horrible. Are you building this for looks, or sonic performance?

Here are a few options that might serve the purpose a little better...

And Tangband makes a pretty solid entry in that area as well, but I will have to search up the specs for it shortly.

It is a base speaker though, isn't it?
If not, can you tell me whether anyone makes subs that small?

(I confess I am a bit confused as to what defines a speaker as a "subwoofer" exactly..?)

My system is just lacking "oomph" and I want to get the best quality bass speaker that can fit in the limited space available.

The determining factor in what type of speaker it is is based upon the frequency range it is designed to play. As suggested above, there are 6.5' subwoofers out there (designed to play

Hey Tom, where in STL are you located?

I live and work on the south side.

Back on topic though, listen to audioholic because he knows his stuff.

If it were me, I would just find a nice little driver that would do IB "infinite baffle" as Audioholic suggested. You could have someone make a fiberglass baffle like the one in the picture you posted and then the magnet would just stick out a tiny bit in the trunk and would probably not be very noticeable.

Apparently I had his previous setup confused with this one.
