Well since I dumped all the spare drum brake parts with the addition of the discs, I have a bit of extra space in back and want a bit more bass for everyday listening. I have been following Grizzley's stuff in "other tech", but with questions on a XJ modification, I thought I would post my Q's here.
I'm not a person that likes the slam of a huge bandpass or ported set up. I want a system that compliments the Infinity 5.25" speakers I now run front and rear. The Infinitys I have put out decent bass, but they seem overly sensitive and need a limiter for the real low stuff. I want something to take up the lost bass and step up the level of sound with a tight and accurate low range output. I am currently running the factory head unit, but that will probably change soon. Even with a new stereo set up, I will still rely on the head unit's power, as I do not plan any separate amps (KISS principle applies here).
I'm looking at small size and tight bass as requirements. I would also like a self-powered enclosed set up with line level inputs for ease of installation (KISS again) and ease of "leaving it behind" when space is at a premium.
I am considering three SMALL self-powered enclosed subs (Clarion's SRV-303, Infinity's BassLink, and Kenwood's wOOx KSC-WA62RC). All of these self-powered enclosed subs take up less than one cubic foot of space, so that is good with the way I usually pack for trips. Cost is close on all, and deals can be had if looking hard enough.
Does anyone have one of these subs? I have been able to find reviews on the wOOx and Baselink, but not the Clarion. Anyone know of one?
Are there other subs that meet my requirements out there I'm missing?
For those that have the wOOx, after owning it for a time, do you wish you "had more power"? How does it mount? Any problems with it?
For a mild amount of desired base, is the Baelink just too much? It is the biggest and most powerful of those presently considered (10" and 200watts). I'm not sure it's worth the added loss in cargo room. Anyone have any real world experience with this Infinity?
Should I even be considering the Clarion? I cannot seem to find much out about it. Has anyone had a chance to hear one? It runs a 7" sub with 120W of power, so it's the intermediate of the three units in both categories. I would really like to know more about this unit before I plunk down my cash on any sub.
Anyone have any other "pearls of wisdom" on this endeavor (besides, "quit wasting time and money on bling and buy your damn alloy axles" )
Thanks,
