New woofers

[swrdply400mrelay]

So I got curious and did a search on shallow mount subwoofers and came across these. These look like drop in PNP.

Hmm it says it doesn't fit the Supra

Anyone have these, supposedly PnP:

Yeah I don't think crutchfield has done any test fits for the Supra. It could be that it's too complicated or not enough demand or a multitude of other reasons. But looking at the shape of the speaker frame and the connector, it looks like it would fit the OEM enclosure. Take a look at the pictures I posted earlier and you can see that the recessed area where the OEM speaker is mounted and the Match speakers look identical. I'm going to delve a little deeper in this and look at dimensions of the OEM and the Match speakers.

Bavsound Ghostsub Review: I really wanted to like them...

I currently have 1 Integral woofer installed and did a comparison between the OEM and integral. I played a 35hz sound wave, faded to the rear, had only the OEM plugged in and then I unplugged the OEM and plugged in the integral. WOW! Granted the Integral is duel voice coil and I have it wired in parallel. I have a video of the comparison. I'll try to get the video uploaded.

Also noted, lots of port noise from both the OEM and Integral. If the ports were smoothed out, I think the bass sounds wouldn't sound so crappy.

Got both Integral woofers installed and tuned using mobridge DSP. Bass sounds much better. It's louder and plays lower. I'm still experimenting with the ports. I currently have 1 inch thick stuffing in front of the ports and that seems to have helped the port noise. Without the strip of interior panel it sounds boomy like a ported enclosure. With the panel in place it eliminates the boomy sound but slightly muffles the bass output.
I used a 40hz sine wave and an oscope to set the sub gain via the mobridge DSP. The volume was set to 10 dots. I found a happy medium between the volume and the gain.
I'm still going to get an actual sub. Still deciding on wether to build a custom enclosure that fits like a part of the interior or just a box that I can throw in and take out.
