Quite commendable for those underseat flatten type but still depending on specific brand/spec. However, for those active-sub in an enclosure box type that place in rear trunk boot that is much more desire. Having said that, I myself is using a standalone 10" dvc subwoofer in a customized seal enclosure placed underseat (if your front seats have some heights allowance) instead of opting for those active-sub type!Does anyone try before ?

I've listened to such underseat active sub before. It cannot hit low enough but it does help a bit. In short, you get what you paid. Just test listen first before you decide to buy, some might feel that's sufficient already, some might not.

My ride is a Mercedes SLK R171 model , the underseat have some Electronics somekind like ECU under the driver side and a HarmanKardon processor under the passenger side which come standard with the car , so there is no place for me to stuck the active woofer under there , on the rear trunk because of the convertible design there is no place for the wires to go around and the sound proofing will make the bass not reaching cabin , so the only way was to install 2 of these active subwoofer behind the driver and passenger seat ...the harmankardon audio is quite satisfying already, it had the bass punch but just cant provide a low down vibration that a normal woofer in a box produce as the enclosure is quite shallow the thing i worried is the bass wont go low ... i never tried before so need opinion from all expert sifus at here ... And thanks for giving advice , really appreciate it |

i think you are better off with the normal sub. probably you can optimise the space by using fiber box for your sub.
I tried several active sub in my car before, i think due to the space limitation, they dont produce low bass. sounded like a midbass only .. *.* |
