Solution for audio system in model A?

[DRG-ler]

Sorry guys but there is also a difference in taste. I also occasionally listen to music from the 30s, the BJ of the car, but this song fits better to Model A.

Yep.... that would be a good one as you chug down the road

I don't think that a speaker mounted in the kick panel or inside a door panel will be good enough to be a subwoofer.

That is also my fear, which is why I am writing here.

A subwoofer needs to move a lot of air and usually needs to be enclosed in just the right box to resonate well. Perhaps something under the back seat would work, but even though that is probably the only unused space in a Tudor, it isn't much.

There are some videos on YouTube that have dealt with this topic. People sat down and developed very, very small subwoofers. Here are some links ...

4.5 "woofer with 33 / 35Hz.

The projects are extremely interesting because they could be the solution to my problem. The question is whether they sound exactly as MY speakers in the living room convey to me and I imagine that?!?!
Here in the living room I have a Klipsch R-115SW. This is an absolutely great woofer that leaves no doubt. But he also turns the small sub's in the video into great speakers. In addition, it is so big that I wouldn't even get it through the door of the A's.

No, no question, you have to find compromises. In the end, there is still the option to do without a sub entirely if there is no proper solution. But better this solution than a bad solution.

@Bettlesr
You write that you have an under seat sub in operation? What are your sound experiences like? It won't fit under the driver's seat of the A's, or you have to build the seat so high that you hit your head. But he could find space under the back seat.
But there is a new problem with these that you just told me ... The 12V supply. You're right, to my knowledge these devices are only available as active sub, and that's exactly where my problem is. I have a 6V car, ... AND, I already have a digital amplifier, but it works with 24V. (And the voltage converter used for this from 6V to 24V.)
So I would need an additional voltage converter to 12V, which also takes up space again, and I would have half an amplifier that I can not use. The considerations still have to mature ...

That's why i wanted to put the sub' in a truck box. Room in it for a couple of 12 volt batteries that can be charged at home.
You seem like you'd want the sub inside the car, if you have a trunk, maybe it could become battery storage?

I have the Subaru sub woofer under the front seat in my Sport Coupe. It's about 9 x 12 x 2". The speaker is a metal cone about 6" in diameter. There is a gain control as well as crossover frequency adjustment. It adds a nice thump to the low end. It turns on when a signal comes into the input. I have attached a picture of the same unit in my Lotus Elan, also under the drivers seat.
