Found a really slick subwoofer, Looks like it was designed for us Options

Had been contemplating a stereo upgrade. Had read all the threads. Wanted something that would require minimal disturbance from stock and be unobtrusive

Had already committed to a period correct Blau Frankfurt with the digital conversion. I knew that the Infinity Kappas were a good solution in the original speaker housings so went with those. In looking for a small powered sub I found the Pioneer TS WX010A. Chose it because it is about the smallest one out there and is a small 50 watt amp that requires no heavy wiring

Figured it’s small size would provide a variety of mounting options without have to cut up any interior stuff. What I did not know was how well it would fit. After taking out the foam filler block, I found that This thing fits in the recess in the passenger footwell like it was designed to be there. See pix below



I held it into place using the double face tape provided with the sub. This tape also nicely isolates the speaker so it does not rattle against the firewall/floor structure. Once the foam block is trimmed and put back into place the carpet covers it all and it essentially is undetectable.

The thing has great adjustability in gain and frequency. Both are turned way down and provides all the bass you could ever want in our small cabin. Paired with the Kappas it sounds great

Overall a very sanitary installation and a pleasing ( to me anyway) solution.

There are several people that convert vintage radios to solid state amps and tuners. They integrate all the classic knob and button tuner functions and can even add Bluetooth. I used Vintage Blau. http://www.vintageblau.com/ Ingo is great to work with and is dedicated to classic radio restoration. They massage the tuning mechanism, looks and works like new. Not cheap but fidelity is pretty good, tuning is sharp and the power is impressive. All fits in the original case.



Not sure how to better show the install and these are all the pix I took. I’ll repeat these two pix as I think they best show how it goes together.





This sub is advertised as designed for mounting in footwells. It is designed to mount with sound outlet projecting into the floor. It fits better in the footwell recess projecting out. I tried it both ways and could not discern a difference in sound quality so went with the better fit.
