Stereo system

Anyone ever thought about building a sub into the firewall

Although I do, and can, enjoy tunes while driving, I find the factory installed sub is quite sufficient.

It is called a Cleveland symphony.

Listen to radio/stereo while driving a Pantera?

No Thanks!

With the gas prices here in Norway(~$2,30/litre) every second of the "Cleveland symphony" must be enjoyed undisturbed ..

Install a sub connected to a microphone the other side of the firewall maybe?

Strange timing...I was working on a friend's Diablo last weekend when I noticed his GT40 had the sub on the back firewall. I will eventually have this done, but I don't have a flat firewall, so I will need to figure that out first.

I can't think of one place to put a subwoofer in the Pantera EXCEPT in the front trunk

I don't know about you, but I am generally in the car by myself over 90% of the time. My sub is in a box moulded to the passenger footwell. Big and great sound, with a carpet panel over to hide it nicely.

Kids or friends will squeeze in for a short run. But on the rare occasion that I go on a long trip with my wife, I simply pull the whole unit out, disconnect the wires, and change the settings on the system to play without the sub - just using the door speakers and window pillar tweeters. It only takes 1 minute to do this.

Note the amp behind the passenger seat. Crossovers are behind the driver seat. This system is better than my home theatre! The guys at PI gave me excellent advice and built the sub to fit.

My Subwoofer is mounted in the Passenger leg well, on the console side and basically into the console tunnel about where a passengers feet would be, but just to the left. And although I have a amp and great speakers, I still enjoy the natural sounds that come from a pantera over the sterio, most of the time.
