Trunk Floor Comparment Sub
I'm looking to add a subwoofer to my 2007 328xi coupe that fits under the floor compartment area in the trunk? I know that BSW makes a subwoofer for that compartment, but it comes with a hefty price tag so I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions on subwoofer enclosures that fit in that area?

You'll be spending more if you got it customized from an audio shop because they usually charged $700+ for a custom enclosure. |

The trunk floor is a BAD location for a sub. It won't sound very good, nor will it be very loud. Your best and easiest bet is the corner-loaded enclosure set-up in the link above, or you can piece it together yourself if you want to save a few bucks.

Or you could get an Infinite Baffle set up, but just depends on how much work you'd be happy with being done to your car.
I'm hoping to get a IB sub installed in the next few weeks |

Im not doing the install myself, think i'd mess it up! Don't know too much about the baffle, but i think its going to be a large piece covering the back of the rear seat essentially. Then somehow attached and sealed. Sorry i can't help any more. If you send MrSingh a PM he should be able to tell you (he's my installer for this project)
About the sub im looking at a Fi Audio IB3 12. You had any experience with this? |

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=740146 Would be interesting if you tried that first, since it would cost you a lot less. I think the back seat is already so well insulated from the main cabin, that a separate baffle may not be necessary!

Yeah think you're right about the insulation. Only difference i will have is i have no ski hole, so will need to do some modification. Just a shame i have to wait 3-4 weeks as he has no IB3s in stock. But hopefully it will be worth it! Where are you at on your sub? Have you decided on one? |

Once I start on the project I'll start a thread. It is more curiosity than anything else to prove that you can have monster SPL and SQ from a single 12 in this car. OP, sorry for hijacking your thread.

You're after something im working towards too, having both SPL and SQ. But i don't think i need monster SPL, which is why im going the IB route. I think it should have enough SPL for me. Will be really interesting to hear how you get on. Good luck! |
