New subs for the wagon....small upgrade

Same amp....but boy an upgrade from DUAL to these Alpine SWE-1043's was like night and day. Same power, same settings, drastic difference!!




I love keeping functionality still too.

These are running at 145w RMS and they really kick hard! Plenty enough bass for my ears.

Cool!

I like boxes that don't render the cargo area useless, while still maintaining decent sound!

Are those 10" subs?

Very nice! That box is tiny though, how deep is the sound?

Very Deep! Anything more and I believe the windows will begin to shake....I don't even have the bass turned all the way up either.

Box is 0.45 cubic feet per chamber, so its somewhat small, but not crazy -- each chamber is wide which makes up for it.

They are 10" Alpine SWE-1043's.

Did you consider subs in the side pockets of the cargo area (first aid and jack areas)? Kind of shallow and the wiring may be more of a challenge, but still...
