Will a powered subwoofer under my seat vibrate my butt???

Question

I want to get a powered sub, but im not too crazy about setting it under the seat. I dont want my butt to constantly vibrate with the bass. I was looking at this one http://www.crutchfield.com/S-3kAhWA89Jcm/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=51000&i=113KSCSW1&tp=114&tab=review
and looks like a good choice. I would prefer to mount it in the trunk. What do you guys think? Oh and I listen to rock music.

Answer 1

if you put that in the trunk you wont hear a thing, get an alpine e type or s type 10 in a sealed box with about a 200 watt amp or so and you will do just fine

Answer 2

Under Seat Powered Subwoofer

Answer 3

Butt rocking Rock music ;-) ?

KSC-SW1 is a low power sub intended for smaller cars with a space crunch. It will not produce earth shattering bass and is only capable of filling in the missing low freq response.

I have a 2005 Suzuki Swift (the new model available for EU, Asia, Aus and Japan) which has a tiny boot and fitting a regular enclosed 10' sub would have taken away half the space. I have fitted the KSC-SW1 on the floor under the driver's seat. I have a Kenwood KDC-MP 5028 headunit driving 4 Sony XPlode 6-1/2' round speakers on the door panels. I listen to Country, Blues, Jazz and modern Indian vocal/instrumental and the effect is quite good with with the sub. The sub is connected to the pre out RCA points. I have set the low pass filter on the HU at 120 Hz and have switched the pre out to subwoofer mode (SWPRE SW), set the subwoofer output to on (SW ON). This way the regular speakers does not get distorted at high volumes having the sub handle anyhthing lower than 120 Hz.

Fitting is in the trunk would not be a good idea as the output is too low to provide good bass.

That Sub is straight up garbage, do not waste your money on it. If you are going to get subs but don't want to shake the streets then get a single 10' to put in your trunk. I got Dual 12' MTX with a 1450 watt amp and my whole car shakes including my butt. Any sub will make your rear view mirror shake, and the bigger the more vibration. Hope that answers youe question.
