OEM subwoofer (LE Vans)

Re: OEM subwoofer (LE Vans)

I had that sub on my one LE. It did add some body to the inherently anemic sounding front and rear speakers.
Cool design.

The goal is to make it so it is non evasive to the chassis and frame yet still supply the quality of audio that one would expect from a typical high end system.

I will be performing a complete spectral analysis of the chassis in a couple of weeks. With that I should be able to design in the correct drivers to use. The two front dash speaker drives will be replaced with a mid range product that will have the excursion needed to supply lower midrange audio down to about 700Hz. This will be matched to a set of tweeters that will crossover at the hinged high frequency response of the dash midrange drivers. The back hatch air vents will be modified to accept two sub woofers rolling off at about 120 Hz. Then an additional pair of midrange drivers in the rear columns and another set, one in the side door and one under the rear AC control.
I will use 3 electronic crossover amplifiers for each crossover range.

When completed I will "voice" the cabin for a linear frequency response using all 10 drivers. All of them will be concealed in the upholstery to match with the cosmetics.

I will keep the group posted on this so if anyone wants to replicate it I can provide all the necessary hardware info.

Happy it all worked out. I will probably use that sub woofer in conjunction with the rest of the sound system.

Curious to know the outcome of this. Did you ever complete the setup you had in mind?

Re: OEM subwoofer (LE Vans)

Yes I did. Turned out a custom sub woofer had to be build inside the cavity where the jack is. The cover was made into a grill for the woofer and a 100 watt amplifier was mounted back there for just the sub.Sounds great!

Can we see some pics of the whole setup?
