ThreeSheds Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 As part of my 'stealth camper' conversion, I need to reposition the woofer(s) from the rear door to the back of the roof. I have found though, that one of the two speakers is damaged and also I don't think that the design of the 'cabinet' is up to scratch, so I am thinking of replacing the two of them with a single unit that is shallower but of larger diameter... The thing is, I know nothing about hifi, so I was wondering if anyone can advise - is my idea sensible or would I be better off getting a pair of second hand original units?

teabag Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Well to give the same amount of bass you will have to build a cabinet with a similar volume to the rear door. Or you could try an active bass box which includes an amplifier, there are items that will slide under a seat will give the equivalent bass that the existing rear door unit does, all you then have to do is extend the two 12v feeds (permanent and switched) and the audio feed that the existing amplifier has to the new unit, simples.

DiscoHere Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I would be happy to replace the 2 rear door subs but can not get them 2nd hand anywhere. If anyone knows of a good spot to find them or alternatively what I might replace them with i would be delighted to hear Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teabag Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) They are just a basic loudspeaker with a wide frequency range and "similar" to the items in this link http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/car-speakers/vibe-6-16-5cm-replacement-speaker Edited January 17, 2018 by teabag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawl12 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I replaced ours with the suggested "active" sub speaker. Because it has its own adjustable in-built amp its far easier to get adequate bass & match the volume to the rest of the system - especially if you are going to relocate it.
