ChrisGalipo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Anyone installed a subwoofer?? Where, how? Pictures of it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdrhound Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I installed a Kenwood KSC-SW10 subwoofer. Placed it vertical behind the driver seat, on the couch frame. It works Great. Mounted the control box to the side of the radio with some velcro. Next time I have the couch bottom board off, I am planning on reinforcing the section where the subwoofer mounts, probably add another layer of plywood to stiffen it up, decrease some unwanted vibrations. I tried using the switched power feed from the radio, but this was for the antenna motor, so only worked when the Radio was on. Nothing for the CD or Tape. So I finally mounted a lighted switch right above the radio for the subwoofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisGalipo Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 I think these are made to be installed under front seats... would it fit there?? How does it sounds?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdrhound Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 My original intent was for under the seat, but it was too thick. It may fit other seat options, but not under mine. Besides, that is where the snow shovel goes. It sounds great, has an adjustable crossover and volume control, and is self powered. Tap into the front speaker wires, a fat 12v source, a dedicated ground and switched power. John Edit: Finally got a couple photos. The blue rolls are my tool boxes.

Tundrawolf Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 You may be able to mount it in its own speaker box under the RV through the floor with an opening for the sound. It's what I am going to do to save space. Also, make sure you silicone the heck out of the enclosure to keep water from going into the speaker. Mount it where the opening through the floor goes into an area where little traffic is, but I can't say where it should be placed. Make sure it's a sealed cone unit if you go this route, so dust doesn't get inside. I've heard of people doing weirder things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I used a "zoom tube" type subwoofer behind the driver's seat. There's not a lot of room and this was just about all I could come up with. It sounds OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
