Before we put that IDQ up for sale...

What I'm thinking the needs to happen is a breakdown of the dash from the top down. You can take off the dash pad and get a feeling for what the airspace availability is IN the dash.

As I remember, you'll find a tube sub frame to work off of for the dash itself.

I'd suggest opening that up and taking some pictures...and sitting on the idea for a week or two. Let's share those pictures and location thoughts before you sell that IDQ.

I can't express how good the IDQ12 sounds (or feels) it's just amazing! specially now that it's up front, I wish I could leave it there for ever. All the low frequency problems disappear, no more adjustments I just let is sit there and play any kind of music pounding hard in my chest besides it feels so natural compare when it was in the trunk. I wish you guys could experience in person what I'm experimenting it's just awesome! (I'm sorry for the crapy picture, my cell phone it's not very good at taking pictures)

I know the dashboard it's the best place for the mini subs, but instead of dealing with the dash board, I was thinking the following:

Stop doing the Kick panels for the L6s and move them to the doors, this would leave enough space under the glove compartment for two (2) I6SWs, kind of like a big kick panel facing towards the passanger's seat. Some how be removable just in case.

The ideas of going into the dash are great, but I don't feel I'm capable of doing it by my self.

Here is a photo of the IDQ in front of the passengers seat.

Yeah...6" subs are so much more civilized...and they can be hidden easier!

sqcomp · 03-01-2011, 11:07 PM

...he he...

OR

We could do something SICK like mounting the 6" woofers IN your rear deck:

Just something for your imagination!

Yes! my imagination tells me a custom "Dash Board", the rear deck idea won't help us with front stage.

I can't believe the difference by just moving my sub-box from the trunk to the front. It's like day and night! That is why I want to put 2 mini woofers (I6SW) under the glove compartment.

The heater core is behing the glove box as I recall. It's a challenge...need to take off the dash pad though, just to see the real estate we'd be working with.

I wasn't thinking going that deep, I'm considering 6 or 8 inches of firewall/floor, I'll try to sketch some thing out, do you have the physical dimensions of the I6SW, looks pretty massive!

Not bad for $90+ a pair

requieres a vented box of 0.40 cuft with a 2" diameter vent by 7" long, for an F3 of 44Hz.

Ok, this is only a sketch (it's a cross section parallel to the car, right in the middle of the passenger's seat) these are my thoughts in paper and it's only an idea, I took some liberal dimensions and I don't know the specs of the I6SW so I'm assuming 7 inches in diameter and about 6 inches depth.

I know I could shrink every thing a little bit more, and/or change the angle of the mini-woofers.

I thought it this way because my wife usually takes her shoes off and she could rest her feet on top, well not in winter until its warm and cozy, but that is once in a while, 99% of the time I drive alone. I'm going to have to make a mock up and sit my self to get a feeling on how bad the space would be!

I'm going to call it... "Foot Massage" as a sales point... LOL

I'm plying with the L6s ring's in the area below the glove compartment, I'll shoot some pictures tomorrow.

E-mail to you D. There are possibilities here. it's just about how much we want to put into it. The nice thing about these Imagines is the reverse surround. That allows for excursion without having to worry about the surround rubbing.

I knew that there was a "why" behind the HAT driver's design! I think I asked before, but I kind of knew the answer!

Looking into the glove box area too.

Not a lot of space, the glove box as is, it's about 0.15 cuft, using all the space of the glove box I'm guessing about 0.25 cuft.

I'm still on the idea under the glove box/fire wall....

D.

sickpuppy1 · 03-04-2011, 06:49 AM

I kinda looked around up there too when the idea came up. Decided I needed my glove compartment more and stuck with the trunk placement. I really like the idea of having it up front. But unless I glassed off the entire bottom access to the dash, I couldnt find a good way to get space for a cabinet.

I know what you mean...

A few days with the sub up front and it's not going back to the trunk!
I hope the idea of the I6SW works even if it's under the glove compartment in a removable enclosure.
