Kicker
6.5''c under Passenger Seat
The installation of a
subwoofer underneath the passenger seat is a problematic task especially if the
car is equipped with powered seats. I could make it work to put in a Kicker
6.5" in a vented Box. A slight disadvantage is that the forward distance of
the passenger seat has to be limited.
If you have powered seats the subwoofer dimensions are very limited. 6.5'' is
the maximum size. The mount depth is so small that the Kicker 6.5'' was the only
one which meet the requirements.
The
picture shows the frame which I build in to attach the subwoofer with his lit
sealed to the car.
The lit, which is
attached to the frame with screws
The
mount depth is so little that the speaker has to sit in an angle on the lit.
Because of the very little capacity of the box I have chosen a vent.
The vent pipe is sitting outside of the box and takes care of an additional
capacity this way.
In assembled condition the vent is sitting parallel to the front seat edge. The
wiring for the seat leaves the box in the middle of the rear edge.
In
order to get enough room for the Subwoofer a view little modifications on the
Seat are necessary. The motor for the seat forward-backward motion has to be
bend as far as possible upwards and the flexible drive shaft has to go
above the cross shaft. This is easy to do .The plug for the seat electric has to
be transferred to a place further back. Make sure in every position of the seat
there is no draw on the wires. Also the clamps for the seat forward motion
limitation have to be placed on the gear drive that way that when the seat is up
the rear tightening screws are just reachable.
