Subwoofer Group Buy
I thought I would pass this info along from another forum I belong to. Stereo Integrity is releasing a new flat piston shallow mount sub. It is supposed to be a fabulous subwoofer and the owner will be selling them in a group buy for $175 a piece plus shipping.
For those of us who are looking to add some bottom end to our C30 stereos, I think this will be a good option. I have done some measuring and strongly believe one of these will fit under the front seat in a 0.5 cu foot box. I have no affiliation (financial or otherwise) with this company, just thought it was a great deal that I wanted to pass along in case any other crazy people want to try to fit 12" woofers under their seats (1 under each seat for me  )  Here are the dimensions of the speaker. T/S Parameters. Some general info on the subs here. A review on the production prototype here. Some more info on the subs here. Group buy thread is here. |

Inneresting. Sounds like a pretty good price. Couple questions:
- Do these each come with an integrated amp? - Any chance this manufacturer can supply them in a box that'll fit under the C30 seat (and naturally definitely have someone test this first under the C30 to make sure it does indeed fit before they start supplying them) - I've looked on Amazon before and I'd bet the manufacturer could get boxes for these for about $30-$40 each additional cost on top of the $175 - I think it would be worth it to me. Thx.

The answer to the second question is most likely no (although, again, I have no affiliation with the manufacturer). However this company just produces the speaker. I am familiar with some of their prior speaker models and they are marketed to high end mobile audio. It would be unpractical for such a company to make or provide boxes to a demographic of people who likely will be making their own boxes anyway. The group buy price is only good until the speakers start shipping so it will be impossible to test them in the C30 before they ship, but I have measured and I believe they will fit. |
